    yes seems like a good quote to me. As they have identifed that the gas needs upgrading i would say thats a good sign that they know what they are doing. I would be asking for a magnetic filter to protect the new boiler as well. Will cost you about £120 extra.

    Thank you for your helpful replies. It sounded about the right price but you have helped to reassure me. I will also be asking about the magna clean.
