How much should I expect to pay to install gas central heating?

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about buying a house that does not have gas central heating. It is a three bedroomed semi-detached. I have found out that to connect it to gas, the cost would be £540 but I have no idea how much it might cost to install the heating?

It needs everything - metre, pipes, radiators, boiler, etc. I would probably chose standard radiators.

Thanks very much.

    Hi,

    £3500-£5500 depending on whether you wanted the pipes surface mounted or buried/routed through cavity walls or under floorboards.

    I am new to this site and not sure if I can refer people. I had central heating system installed last November, very happy. If you need details, just ask.
