Just Moved - Central Heating / Electric / External Paint

Posts: 3 Newbie
Just moved into my new home (two weeks ago) and am in the process of gathering quotes.
Been reading these forums for some time and they get me down a bit as I never get quotes even vaguely close to what some people on the boards seem to manage.
Anyhoo....could do with your expert opinions on the following:
Three Bed Detached 1930's house in Kent.
Central Heating:
To install Condensing Boiler plus Megaflow cylinder in loft + 10 rads. Three quotes £6.5K - £8.4K.
Electrics
Three new sockets. Three replacement sockets. One new light (run off a spur and "stitched" into the ceiling around the joists) and switch. £250
Exterior Paint.
Two coats exterior paint (no window or sofit / facia work) £1200
The painting seems a bit high, but I've only had the one quote. The Central Heating is my biggest worry can someone give me some advice or recomendations?
Thanks
TB.
