    A system with approx 6 radiators and new boiler should be about £3000. To replace a bathroom suite without changing the layout is around £1500.

    Good afternoon: price is dependent on your location in the UK, site requirements and the standard of the specification....in other words...get trades on site to quote.

    Wow. I wish I could find those prices where I live (East Hants).

    Gas CH ~ £5K (several quotes).
    Bathroom refit ~£4.5K+.

    Aha! Now I understand ... :D

    To add to my previous post, cost will depend on what you want. From a fresh start combi boilers are competitive, but price varies a fair bit as you go up the scale. And if you want heating pipes hidden, or exposed (along and through walls) will impact the cost.

    As said by another poster, get three quotes, and choose.

  • We had central heating put in last year. Our downstairs pipework is exposed (concrete floors) but not our upstairs. Boiler (Glow-worm) placed in the attic so a little more cost for a flue extension. 2 bed house (6 rads) and he did the plumbing for our new kitchen.

    Came to about £2.5k-£3k (North West England).

    PS - totally recommend putting the boiler in the attic if you can, makes the most of our kitchen and we don't take up any valuable cupboard space in the rest of our house.
  • North East would be about about £4,500 to £5,000

    depends on what you want, but you could look at anything from 2k up to about 3k if a really good boiler is required.
