New Central Heating

Hi
I currently have Hot air heating and I want to upgrade to central heating
I live in a three bed room house and I think I will need 6 radiators.
I have looked at the cost of getting the parts and it should be about £1200 from Mr central heating, (I know weird name).
Does any one know how much it costs to get someone to install everything? I know that I can put the boiler in the same place as the current heating unit.
If anyone knows any rough costs are or any good companies in the Essex area.
Thanks for your help in advance

In the order you asked:
Only 6 radiators? 3 bedrooms, lounge, dining room? kitchen? bathroom, hall, landing. I don't install CH but 6 sounds too few.
I have very mixed feelings about customers buying their own stuff. It isn't always 1. the best 2. the right product 3. the cheapest and 4. you'll still blame the person who fitted it even if it doesn't work properly because of 1-3.
The cheeky way to get a figure is to ask British Gas for a quote then knock off about £1000 (or so the story goes)
You may get a better response by posting the same question on forums like:

where there are professional heating engineers. Be warned, you will get a lot of varying advice. Check out any advice against people's track records.
Finally, how is your water heated? Will that need to be changed too?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
