Quote for new boiler

Have received a quote of £5,200 for the following:

New combi boiler
Complete re-siting of boiler from downstairs to upstairs in bathroom
System power flush
Hive controls/thermostat
Removal of tanks in attic and current boiler
Water softener device in boiler due to hard water area
5 year warranty and service
2 man job for 2 days

This is for the south of England - does this seem ok?

    If it's any help have just paid £3,400 for (a) new combi boiler, (b) relocation to attic, (c) fitting and minor re-siting of 3 rads, plus cost of 2 of the 3 rads (I bought the 3rd separately).

    Includes Worcester Bosch 30i, filter, rust inhibitor, flush, etc. 10-year warranty.

    The boiler itself can affect the cost a lot - what boiler are you getting?

    (This is in West Midlands)

  • It's a Worcester Bosch SI
  • How does it compare with the other two quotes?

    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    Try Boxt. They will likely smash that quote out the water.
  • Sounds quite a lot to me plus you can get a much better boiler for your money (don't believe the WB hype)
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
  • Thanks for the replies everyone. Will have a look at Boxt - had never heard of them before.
  • I paid £5.9k for a new boiler W/B, nest, and totally new pipework and radiators (included removing existing stuff)
  • Shoes how the prices differ in the south...
    I have just had a baxi 836 with a 10 year warranty. Tanks in loft and airing cupboard removed, wireless thermostat, full system flush all new pipework done and this was for £2350!!

    I've just had an Intergas HRE OV 24 installed (with no relocation work needed and in the North) for £2650. I think this should translate to no more than £4,200 in south with the relocation work.

    I can recommend Intergas boilers.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
