Hi all,
Just a quick question to see if I'm being 'ripped@ off by a gas engineer.
Basically our 20 year old boiler is Knackered !! Gas engineer suggests replacing it with a new condensing bolier....fair enough. But he says the labour cost alone would come to about £500.!! This he says would ' involve removing the old tanks from upstairs and putting the new bolier in the same place as the old one, flushing the system, small amount of new pipework and a bit of bricking up on the outside wall .' He says it would take him about 2 days. Is that a fair price ? £500 for two days? £250 per day with a little bit of pipe and a couple of elbows !!
Don't get me wrong the guys fully trained and expeienced and he's got to make a living...but £250 labour per day here in Manchester !!!
But if you guys say that's the going rate then fair enough I'll accept that.
Cheers in advance.
