Hi all,

Recently moved into a property with storage heaters and want to make the move to oil central heating. It will be a full install from scratch. First quote was received yesterday... £13,500.

I'll be honest, this is a lot more than we were expecting. 

8 radiators, combi boiler including flue etc, oil tank, pipework (not chased into wall), thermostat. 

Does that figure sound about right? Having another company out to quote next week to compare but interested in your thoughts.
