    does this include vat? if so not screamingly outrageous for bosch, local guy may be a little cheaper (dont know which area obviously) work they are carrying out is as expected for replacement.

    yes it does include vat and i'm in the northwest of england.
  • I've just been quoted £2,800 by npower for a boiler replacement - though mine is to replace an old back boiler so that may be why it's a bit more expensive. I was told I would need new radiator valves (something to do with the pressure?) even though I got new rads and valves fitted only last year. They also recommended a 28kw boiler when all other quotes I had said 24kw would be sufficient. Can anyone tell me if this is right or are they trying it on?
  • Sorry I should have said - I'm replacing an old back boiler with a combi. What can I say - I'm a newbie :confused:
