    Doesn't seem too far-fetching.

    New boilers fitted would be £3-3.5k.

    TRV's are about £15 each, so 8 of them is £120 already.

    Once you add on the associated works with electrics, (half a day @ £150 per half day) re-plumbing works, and gas works (estimate 2 days @ £250 per day for plumber) plus maybe £200 materials & making good, it does make sense.

    I would however get a secondary quote, but the costs sound sensible.
