    British Gas quotation?

    I'd get another quote.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Check what they say needs doing ... from what I've read elsewhere if its replacing something 25 years old then lots of regs have changed since then meaning that its not just a matter of taking old boiler out, putting new one in and reconnecting ... gas pipework to boiler and possibly electrics may need to be completely replaced to meet the standards required today.
