Central heating pump broke cost £600 for new one

missprice

Think its a rip off price. Probably the company want to sell you a whole new system. And most likely its not needed.

Last pump I had fitted cost £69 + vat. Then fitting costs would be added.
Last valve was about same price. Then fitting should be added.
The valve took all of 15 mins and the pump maybe a half hour.

OK its a few ( think 4 or 5 ) years ago but prices have not risen that dramatically.

Oh and my heating system is original to the house, so 34 ish years old.

£100 max and its very rare to need a new pump. moderate DIY job

I've already reported him twice, let's hope he gets the message this time

My pump stop working once, turned out it was just stuck , I undid the screw in the middle and turned the valve with a screwdriver and bingo its worked fine ever since. worth a google before calling anyone out.
