like others have said before it depends on many factors and it would be very difficult with out seeing the job ...but outmyway... i am willing to travel the 230ish miles and could do the job for £11,299 
you can find my email in my profile

for the record i had a similar job to you done last year for £6500
although it was the 440cdi that included ripping out an old warm air system.
rad`s cost nothing mate
11k is crazy money
Strangely enough a bloke down my road had a similar job done as well , he had a similar boiler , similar radiator's made of metal ,similar trv's , similar control's , pipe run's were probably similar , flooring was similar eg wood ??? Yep the job was similar , my mate has just bought a new transporter van like mine paid £3000 more than I did , cannot understand it , alright he had an auto box , air con' , 4 wheel drive , towing hook , roof rack ect ect , but it is a similar van , I reckon he was ripped off !!

thanks for clarifying that, im happy to take your advice although youve never seen my holiday brochure and the plans we've made, you are obviously an expert and can see that my travel agent is taking me for a mug. dont know how to thank you enough.
sounds fair enough to me.
trv`s not much difference what £10 max each from cheapest to dearest ?
controls £100 ? for a wireless
few hundred quid difference possibly not thousands.
To the op my advice is to contact WB accredited installers directly from the website
mr lewis, how do you compare your £6500 job and the other guys £11300 job?? is it because they sound 'similar'?? or have you actually done a detailed survey of the mans house?
pointless...
pointless...

Actually "visiting" the property would be a fekin good start.
What part of this being a DIY forum NOT a "how much" forum aint people undestanding.
Just looking in the Screwfix catalogue should show someone that there is a mile of difference between specifications.
A cheap TRV is around £6 and a good quality one is around £18.
Similar differences exist on plumbing fittings.
If you are going to call people 'rip off' merchants the spec is the king. Your 'rip off' person could be quoting you for a first class job using first class materials.
You will always find someone willing to undercut a quality job, some will even walk to the job down a motorway. Perhaps you should ask yourself why they aren't busy.

it`s made of brick
it has wooden floors
just like my house.
i think the op just needs some guidence on what is a average fair price.
11k is not a fair price
You need three quotes from different companies. Try your local plumbers merchants for a few names of fitters. They can't give a 'recommendation' but they will know who gives them quality business and pays their bills and seems a decent outfit, been trading for a long time etc.
Thats the only way you can see if the costings are realistic. We can't really tell from here.
