New boiler

Just had the boiler repair man out to fix a leak and it looks like ours is knackered. Distributor valve seized up, motor about to burn out and that's on top of the leaks.

Been quoted £1600 (supply and fit) for a valent one, which he says are the best kind to have.

Is this a good quote, and is it worth going for the most expensive kind of boiler or should I ask for a cheaper model?

btw, am in manchester.

    Tbh, that sounds ok - Vaillant will be about £900-1100k depending on model, add in a system flush, venting, etc., etc...

    Mine was £2200 but included running extra pipework in for relocation, new vent thru wall and so on.

    Check what the quote includes - he might be cutting corners.
