Behave yourself, I changed mine last week.
OP: as per doodle's comments, was the plumber going to properly flush the existing system? If he wasn't then it is still cheap (IMO)if he was, then it might even be easier to fit a new boiler - so he is not lod=sing money.
Why was the boiler being removed an refitte - was it in the same place, or was he going to have to cut a new hole

Bath or underpants?
Just a little tip.
Before you actually pay for the boiler take the serial number and ring their 01925405405 and ask someone to check that the serial number will be accepted for the warranty.
It probably is quite kosher but lorry loads of boilers are sometimes stolen and merchants staff sometimes sell them for cash without going through the books!

I fully agree that if he is already quoting for moving an existing boiler then it makes sense to fit a brand new one as there is the same amount of work.
In fact in that case perhaps its too expensive as its easier to fit a brand new one!
Should look up price of a new boiler and add about £100 perhaps.

Twaddle. Refitting an old one is far easier if it's in the same location - no pipework alterations to make, no condensate to run, no new flue hole to drill and no making-good of the old one
They're very solid boilers, and made of brass and steel rather than the plastic that is increasingly creeping into some "premium" brands. Biggest issue with them is noise - they're one of the loudest boilers currently on the market. Fine for a loft, an insulated cupboard or, at a push, a utility room. Baxi themselves have been OK as far as my dealings with them have gone, and parts are always readily available.
If only you took the trouble to read some of this thread you would see the boiler is being moved to a new location.
That's what I do, read all the preceding thread!

And did you not notice, after reading it all, that you were responding to a thread from March?
