I need to get our old boiler replaced, can anyone recommend a good deal?
I've been quoted in the region of 3k by a local plumber - Rip out old boiler, power flush and replace with an A rated Valiant ecoTEC plus 824

Maybe get another couple of quotes,as 1 quote doesn't really help you much.Also make sure they are quoting like for like.0

My parents had a this done about a year ago they paid around the £1800 mark
To give you and idea the boiler should only be about £800 including VAT so all parts i expect will be close to £1000 + half a days work
but to meet regulations are your gas and water mains bonded correctly if not is this included? is their any additional work required to bring it up to standard like siteing the flue0 -

Definately get more than one 'quote' - aim for about four - it's an expensive item.
Make sure they are all qualified.
Go for a condenser boiler, with thermastic valves fitted on all the rad's.
Listen, to all that they say, some may suggest something - that no one else does. It's a matter of learning by what they say, and deciding who you trust the most!
And, yes 3k does seem a lot.
Good luck.I used to work for Tesco - now retired - speciality Clubcard0 -

Good evening: cost will be dependent upon the standard of the specification, the site requirements, and your location in the UK. Anyone who slaps in a new boiler in 'half a day' is doing the consumer and the industry a disservice. Tbh...not enough detail in your post to comment on the price.
