o Install new low level toilet pan complete with back to wall cistern and push button flush
o Supply and install new bath panel
o Supply and install new window panel to take new bathroom mirror as agreed with customer
o Supply and install air extraction fan at high level in bathroom
Tiling
· Tile bathroom walls with tiles supplied by customer to the height agreed
· Walls above tiles to be painted

Supply and Install new combination boiler / central heating
· Drain existing central heating and hot water system and remove the following heating an hot water services and equipment:

· Install condense line and terminate outside drain
Gas Supply
· Gas supply will be tested and checked from the meter before installation
· Gas supply will picked up from nearest suitable point
· Upon completion the gas supply will be purged and tested as required by law

Good morning: Just a comment on a few points...
1. Do you know what sanitaryware/brassware is in spec. eg. brand?
2. The boiler in your spec. is not a product my OH would install(plumber/CORGI in Surrey/South London for 30+ years)
3. CH system should be flushed to remove sludge and other contaminants, CH inhibitor should be added after, scale inhibitor and Boiler Buddy/Magnaclean, installed as well as progammable roomstat and TRVs on all rads except one in the room where the stat is located.
4. Boiler installation should be notified to Building control via your CORGI

For that price I would expect a better boiler and quality bathroom fittings. Always have at least 3 quotes from plumbers/CORGIs recommended to you by a source you trust and compare like for like. You could save money by sourcing and supplying your own bathroom fittings, removing waste materials and stripping off the old tiiles if you are so inclined.

Here's a big long list of Central Heating quotes, hopefully it will help you put your prices in context?

as above, depends on quality of bathroom fittings. boiler imho could be better. also condense waste should not go to drain as against regs.

cost does seem on the "generous side though.
