British Gas knocked a third off my boiler quote!

I agree 100% in general terms, did I not say that before, but a flush is a must for a new boiler and if the boiler manufacturer won't give you the warranty without it because they know how the carp in most systems wreck a new boiler its hardly sheep mentality is it?

Well I guess if its needed for the warranty then fair enough. When my last boiler was replaced, which was about 15 years ago, they just drained down and refilled the system, and it worked just fine ever since.

But surely that flush doesn't need to be a power one does it?

No. Although mfrs do specify power flush.

This leads to the question to the OP of what sort of flush have BG quoted you for?

A £ 272 one as opposed to a £ 750 one.

p.s. i still wouldn't use BG regardless of price (just one big rogue trader IMHO that shouldn't be allowed to use the word "british"!)

Did you know that they have trademarked the term PowerFlush? :j

as afar as OP quote is concerned, and comparing it to others who said all in £1500ish... would need to know things like boiler model, flue arrangments to make any true comparison
could be £100o difference between say a Sabre and and Worcester

Well the quote just says system flush, and the boiler is a British Gas system one
