Could you let me know if this quote sounds reasonable....

[Yellowduck]

I have a back boiler system with 7 rads.

I added a bottle of system cleaner about 4 weeks ago so it could be working around the system, and have contacted a local plumber to carry out the following work....

Drain down and flush (not powerflush) the system a couple of times to wash out the cleaner, and hopefully some of the crud from the system.

While drained down fit two thermostatic valves to two of the rads. Fit a spirotrap magnabooster to the boiler input pipe. Fill system, add inhibitor, and sort any airlocks.

I am supplying the spirotrap unit, but the plumber is supplying the two valves and the inhibitor fluid.

I do not know how long this will take, but am guessing at about 3-4 hours.

Quote I have been given is £250.........

Is this in the ball park of being reasonable.

Cheers

Steve

too cheap should be at least £400

Cheap.

£200 for his labour and £50 for materials So even if he`s all day he still gets £200 . and he doesn`t need to be Gas Safe registered which is probably why he`s happy with a double ton - better still if it`s cash . It is very reasonable - and no one in the trade should be able to cock that one up

Maybe @ Eastbourne Harbour - It`s NOT a powerflush

eastbourne harbour is that where all the *****'s live? the op might not want a powerflush but he'll expect the same results!!
