Tumble dryer vent - how much for a hole?!
Discussion
How much do the local PH collective think it would cost to have one of an external tumble dryer vent fitted - tumble dryer is in the kitchen and up against the outside wall.
Don't fancy drilling a giant hole myself!
The parts themselves look nice and cheap so guessing it's just the costs of a dude with a drill? Any recommendations?

Not too much I would have thought. Don't do what the idiot previous owner of my house did and take a sledge hammer to the breeze block and smash it. Cold utility room in the winter? Just a bit! Unfortunately it's virtually impossible to sort properly as they then fitted the kitchen cabinets in front of it.

/\/\/\/\ - This. An SDS Maxi Hilti or equivlent and Core Cutter of the correct diameter. All hired from HSS or somewhere similar for a Saturday morning. Unless you have an old house with really hard bricks it will work a treat. Just make the obvious checks for cables, pipes etc an measure twice 
Did exactly what you need to do to my house a few weeks ago, albeit for a cat flap rather thank a dryer. Diamond tipped core borer hired for about £20 and it ate through a cavity wall without breaking a sweat! They give you a pilot drill with it, just take the pilot drill out once the core borer is a few mm into the wall.
If you're anywhere near Hedge End-ish area, I have an SDS+ drill thst you are welcome to borrow. It's like a baby pneumatic drill - great fun
