According to this Which? article on British Gas installation prices:

http://www.which.co.uk/news/2010/08/british-gas-boiler-prices-investigated-225391/

"Using British Gas rather than a local fitter to install a boiler costs 39% more on average, according to a Which? investigation.

And our survey of members shows you’re more likely to be very satisfied with an independent fitter. We asked British Gas and an independent installer for a quote to install a boiler in 13 houses. In each house we asked both to quote for an identical boiler. British Gas was more expensive in 10 cases.

The biggest difference was when British Gas wanted 75% more. The best deal we got from British Gas would have saved us 17%. "
