Gas plumber quote??

peterdoherty

After a bit of a disaster I have got get a 5m horizontal gas flue replaced. ANy plumbers out there able to tell me if this is a decent quote???

Consists of:
1 x 125mm Horizontal flue kit
6 x 125mm extension lengths
1 x 125mm vertical adapter
1 x 125mm 90 degree bend
6 x 125mm flue brackets
Total material cost (inc VAT): £542

Labour (inc VAT): £611

Initial inspection cost: £83

Total: £1,136

Also the plumber noted I needed the condensate line changed on the boilder as it was in copper and not plastic as per manufactures instructions. he is chargin £270 for this (bit steep sounding???)

Any advice/comments appreciated!

I'd advise you to get a few more quotes, I had a gas fiitter in and the guy I finally got was only 1/3 rd the price of the first quote.....
£611 for labour seems extreme, did he say how long the job would take?

no he didnt but i suspect only a day or 2 at most!

Hoping NHBC insurance will pay for it as its a builders defect (propery 5 years old but have been in discussioins with nhbc as its a danger and has never been installed corrrectly).

if not hoping buildings insurance will pay for it????

worst case is I have to pay myself in which case I'll def get a few more quotes (if I can as it was really hard to get this one - most installers dont want to run about giving quotes!)
