Where are you? I think that’s expensive. The materials on that job are about £1700. Conversions are more work but not £3500 worth. 

That being said, I don’t give breakdowns. I can if you pay for the time. 

I don’t believe anyone goes into a supermarket or restaurant and asks for a breakdown of their costs of how they arrived at their price. 

I am in the central belt of Scotland. This what I trying to get to really. I don't need to know all the "black magic" of the quote, just want broad idea how the elements affect the overall price. Some of this list is optional, like the flush and magnetic filter system. 

Magnetic filter is no longer optional. It must be fitted. 

An Ideal Logic with a 10 year warranty is a Logic Max….this comes with a filter in the box. 

A flush must be carried out. Is the quote a full power flush? This doesn’t have to be done but a flush to British Standard must.

You'll only get/keep up the 10 year warranty if you have an annual service - are they pricing 10 years worth of services into the quote?

I think so. I'm sure he said the service was included in the price. Also the 10 yrs warranty was provisional on getting the flush and magnetic filter, otherwise it was 2 years, 

Can’t be 2 years. The Logic+ is a 7 year warranty. If it’s not flushed properly to BS you won’t have any warranty at all.

We had a Logic Max Combi C35 installed last year under similar circumstances. No Hive system (just the wireless programmable thermostat) or future servicing included. Local installer (Ideal accredited). Total cost was just under £4K including VAT and we have the 10 year warranty.

Only thing I would say at switching from a hot water tank to a combi is look closely at the hot water flow. It takes forever for hot water to reach our kitchen sink as it goes from the boiler (in the attached nearby garage) upstairs to where the tank used to be then downstairs again, so a lot of pipework to be heated up and cold water to be flushed through before any hot water reaches the sink!

That's interesting. I pretty sure he said if we didn't get their magnetic filter then they wouldn't  guarantee it for 10 years, only 2. Was none of it optional ???

Thanks for all the comments & other info. Bottom line here is I need another quote(s) to compare this.
