Crazy Central heating quote, i think?

Posts: 26 Forumite
I just had a quote for the central heating update
basically it includes Worcester-Bosch 37CDI combi-boiler
12 radiators(basic, nothing fancy), two showers, and a power flush
and the quote including installation, 7500!!
It is twice as much as i expected! Any idea? Or am i having the wrong expectation?
I am based in Essex. Please, any opinion?
Thank you!

May be a little OTT but not much.
That is a hell of a lot of work and materials.0 -

How many quotes have you had? More than one so you can compare like for like would be useful....after all, RGIs who have conducted a site survey and discussed your requirements are better placed to price up the job than anonymous posters. Not clear if it is more than a central heating quote....in your first post you mentioned 'two showers'?

Sounds very high to me. I would think you should be able to get it done for around £5.500I just had a quote for the central heating update

I was thinking of around £6500- £7000, but assumed this included all the work stated and not just the ch.0

I think way too much. We used a plumber from my builder who used to come from Essex. He was great and great price0
