My fees are very competitive and this service is worth if you are looking to sell your valves or match them.

Terms and conditions:

  1. Price varies on level of testing and amount of valves
  2. Postage is not included and depend on your location. I’m in London, UK so you can easily estimate the costs beforehand.

Update – August 2021

My apologies but due to pandemic and lack of free time, I’m not offering this service anymore.
