Cold Water Tank Replacement

Options
Hi there, 

Can anyone tell me what a reasonable price is for a cold water tank replacement.  It's large house so needs a larger than normal tank.

These are the prices i've been given? is this reasonable it's more than i was expecting? 

  • £950 is for 70 gallon tank including all fittings etc.
  • £1375 is for 100 gallon tank including all fittings etc.
  • May 2021 Grocery Challenge :  £198.72 spent / £300 Budget
  • June 2021 Grocery challenge : £354.19 spent / £300 Budget

    It’s a bit difficult to say without seeing it.  The first place I’ve googled has a 1000litre tank at £475 - a trade price may be less.

    After that, is it a straight replacement?  Do the joists need strengthening to take the weight?  Does it need a frame to support it? Etc.

    £900 to fit sounds a bit top heavy, but materials prices and Tradesman availability are crazy at the moment.
  • Seems expensive but is the existing water tank metal or asbestos cement ? Are they removing the old water tank and disposing of it ?
