New central heating system

Options
I have received a quote for a new central heating system and am in the south west of England:

- Remove back boiler, tanks in loft, all radiators and pipe work
- Supply & fit Worcester Bosch 34 CDI boiler and horizontal flue kit, central heating filter and scale reduced
- Supply & fit 6 radiators with thermostatic and lock shield type valves
- Provide rigid copper gas main from meter to boiler
- Run heating circuit from boiler to all new radiators
- Supply radio frequency thermostat and time lock combined
- Fill system with inhibitor
- Provide 8 year manufacturers warranty

Total cost is £4,600. Does this sound like a good price?

    You can work out the price yourself by searching online everything listed on that quote. With a minor difference as they might get trade prices. Then see how much is left for the labour.
    You could then decide if it's expensive or not

    im sure you could get cheaper. I recently got a quote from my dentist for a check,polish and a minor filling replacement. I was able to get all the bits i needed at screwfix and did it myself using the bathroom mirror and a head torch.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Get two more quotations from local companies, and then you can compare the prices and see if it's good value.

    I have one more estimate listed below and am awaiting a third:

    - De-commission and dis-connect back boiler, remove tanks in loft and cylinder
    - Install new Worcester 32 gas combi compact
    - Install new flue system
    - Put condense pipe into waste
    - Install new wireless controls and magnetic filter
    - Redo complete gas run through house to boiler and a cooker point
    - Install central heating system throughout house
    - Supply and install 6 new radiators and thermostatic valves
    - Do all pipework for putting hot and cold pipes under floor
    - Supply all pipe and fittings for complete job
    - Hot and cold flush out with chemicals
    - Comes with 8 year guarantee

    £5200

    Please can someone tell me if one quote looks to be more inclusive than the other? Is there anything missing that I should ask about? I have noticed that both do not provide the size of the radiators they are supplying and this second quote does not list if the pipework is copper but wondered if I need to clarify any details?
