    £1300, that sounds too cheap for all that work and surely can't be right??

    Way too cheap, but if you know him and trust him go for it.

    Around £1600 + VAT would nearer the norm for a straight swap, as what yours is.
  • Well i had it fitted, £1350 in the end as i decided to have a Fernox TF1 put in as well.

    All went fine. I suppose i will only know for sure in the coming weeks/months.
  • Where are you based?

    I'd love to get our old boiler replaced if it's only going to cost that much, we've been getting quotes around £2500 to literally take the old one out and put a new one in.

    That is similar to what I've been quoted for a similar swap (F50 to 18Ri). Mine is being fitted next week. The installer is off the Worcester Bosch web site.
