Difficult to give advice without seeing job but If gas pipe runs ok, I would be biting his hand off at that price, if inclusive of vat as it says.

It is pretty cheap to be fair.
You already have a baxi 105HE so WHY not have a baxi duotec 28 He A in place it fits onto existing jig with no pipework alterations at all and flue hole only needs a slight alteration .
Labour saving as old boiler can be off and new on and back on and working very very quickly.
Also it comes with a SEVEN year no quibble g`tee.
WHY are you changing a 105HE these are a good no nonsense boiler that are probably the easiest combi out there to fix ???

Gas, that is SOME post to thank you score you have, I have increased your score by one for the useful post. I know some people would be very reluctant to say thank you let alone put polish on your shining score 
Too cheap is what I think too. Putting a grand on it and doing it by the book is what should be on the cards. Take it the condensate is not going to be o/f pipe sticking out of the wall like the PRV does

Having the following problems with existing Baxi Combi 105 HE:
- water leaking from boiler unit.
- Loss of pressure within a week of manually topping up.
- Loud whistling noise when boiler running.
- Some cold radiators even when TRV's fully open
- Small water leaks from upstairs radiators if pressure goes above
1.5
We've 3 differnent H.E's round who have all recommended replacing due to age and inefficency.
will have a look at the baxi duotec 28, thanks
Most on your list are radiator and circulation/balancing issues which will apply equally to a new boiler.
You have a leak and a noise from your boiler! That's all!
Mostly I can fix leaks within my diagnostic fee and even if a part was needed its usually only round about £20.
The noise is likely to be cured by a proper service which would also be included in my diagnostic fee.
Unfortunately, because householders get seriously worried by water leaks they panic and are easily persuaded to have a new boiler fitted. Most water leaks are very minor repairs. HEs don't want to do a repair if they can get the bigger job of fitting a new boiler.
The increase in efficiency of a new boiler is only likely to be 6% to 12% which does not justify the cost of a new boiler.

Thanks Tony - i could do with one of you 'oop north'

I'M not disputing the bones of your post of your post - but I would hesitate to say it is no quibble. I was at Baxi training a short time ago, and ther warranty came up. We were told that in the event of a fault caused by a dirty system, it would be rectified, but any future work would be reliant upon the system being cleaned. They did say they would contact the installer if known, for a friendly chat, but if not the client would be informed
Firemant What manufacturer does cover dirt fireman no quibble means for a properly installed system .
The Chief whoever is telling you inefficient ?? the 105he was around 88% new boilers are around 92% but this is not for all the time its running .
Water leaking from boiler Unit ? is this from the left hand side at the front if so its a £15 quid part and ten minute fix . Whistling sound could be a couple of minor adjustments req.
As for losing pressure if its on your system then new boiler isnt the cure . And only takes a day of boiler isolation to confirm if on system or boiler.
your boiler is no more than 9 years old i have original 105e`s out there coming up for 14 year old and have years of life left in them i would say your 3 guys are looking for work and an easy install .

Just that in my experience... the more that you do fer folk... the more recommendations and additional customers they recommend you to... the more they want freebies... deductions... gratuities....
