Possibly the most delayed response ever, but here goes anyway. The work hadn’t started at the time of my last post, it was a quote, hence some of the details were a bit sketchy. The boiler was indeed a Baxi. The system is 6.5 years in and no problems to speak of. We went for a larger hot water...

I thought I'd update my post with the outcome from my original question. The 10-15K plumber didn't provide me with a quote, I'm not sure why but I'm guessing he was to busy to contemplate the job. I've used him twice since for boiler servicing jobs and the quote hasn't been discussed further...

Thanks for the advice Tony, really useful. St Gregory's church opposite the chip shop? I love that place too, perfect for idling away an hour or so. If you're in Norwich again maybe have a stroll along Magdalen street, some great junk/antique shops to peruse. I take your point about this site...

Sorry real pin you misunderstand me. It's all about roughly validating the price, the guy in question is sound as a pound. Thanks for taking the time to read the OP and offering your opinion.

Mmmm, not quite following you. I'm looking for reasons to promote him, if that's a little clearer.

:D Yes dilalio, I'm sure they read you like a book :mrgreen:

Thanks Mutley, Good advice. That's along my line of thinking. I posted here to look for reasons to use this engineer given I know he's proficient and trustworthy. I'm not attempting to undermine him as others may intimate. Whether he gets this job or not I'll continue to use and recommend him.

Does he have the etc. though?

This is the second set of plans we've drawn up for this renovation, the first were slightly smaller but we were quoted 6K for an unvented system. True, but this is a bog standard semi. Totally agree. I know this engineer isn't the cheapest but I have mouths to feed etc.

Thanks O&B, I'll post the quote when I get it. Rather concerned his minimum "ballpark" was far in excess of my minimum threshold (~6K).

Hi All, I'm renovating a small 3 bedroom semi in Norwich. We're planning a large extension (2 storey side, loft and single storey rear) to essentially provide 4 double bedrooms along with complete renewal of the existing house. The current central heating system comprises a gas combi boiler...
