FFS I read the OP's post as he wanted to swap out a combi and reckoned 400 quid for labour alone would be around the mark. Is it that far from the mark?I consider myself a reliable engineer and I read this guys other post, and I'm in liverpool. But when I read his other post I said to myself I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. His posts on this thread prove me right. He won't find a reliable engineer at the prices he thinks they are worth.
My other post was in regards what to expect. You know, so I don't get ripped.Fair enough, just noticed he was asking about stickng a cheap combi in.
Even so, your other post tonight asks for servicing prices yet here you seem knowledgeable enough to quote a combi install c/w conversion from regular system and all the components & labour required therin. Not bad for someone who also implies they struggle to find a reliable engineer.

As I have already posted, I misread the OP's original post and read it as a combi boiler swap. I posted you can get a decent cheap combi for 400 quid and that the fitting would be as expensive. That information is based upon what I have paid in the past for the same service so I have experience of that cost but obviously the OP's requirements are not what I read.My other post was in regards what to expect.

Yet you're able to advise others what to expect for a boiler change so they 'don't get ripped'.

I have never had a boiler service so I don't know what to expect, so I ask.
Peace and chill pills to you all.
Point taken. Now, how d'you manage to get a decent combi for £400 when even the £800 ones are sh*t?
