fitting gas fire

chickaroonee

I've been quoted £150 for a corgi fitter to fit our new gas fire. The old fire has already been removed, the hole will be bricked up to the right size and the surround in place - just a case of fitting the fire itself. I was a bit concerned that this was a little too cheap, any thoughts?

The expensive fire place centre type places we've had quotes from have quoted £3-400 to remove and dispose of an old fire and for the building and installation of a new one, apparently they take quite a bit off if you dispose of the old one yourself so I don't think £150 would be too cheap. I'd say the fireplace shops are going to be overpriced anyway and their quote is for more work.

I had a new fire, surround, hearth, mantle etc, full works installed, old fire removed, but not disposed of, fitted, connected, tested. £400 all in inc VAT by Corgi reg installer.
