Fitting new boiler costs

[whyme!]

Just wondering what sort of prices are a fair cost to pay to install new regular boiler and convert c plan system to s plan if i provide the boiler, valves and programmer, so basically fitting costs. Location in same place as old boiler

Hang on while I fire my crystal ball up !

Well would £4000 be a fair price?

Most rgi's would walk away from this kind of proposition.

Allow them to supply boiler etc ( after discussion with you ) would be the best way.

Otherwise, you are sending out all the wrong kind of signals.

Ok so put another way, on top of the actual cost of a boiler what would be a fair price to expect to pay? as I appreciate these vary enormously in price, so can the work involved depending on pipe layout of existing setup

It could be. Why are you supplying gear ?

Your allocated sum seems realistic, but as no-one on here can actually visualize the planned installation, it might be better to go down the route of getting a few quotes locally, then deciding.

More hassle, I agree, but ultimately more useful to you. Sorry if this sounds unhelpful.

Because i can get a better discount on the boiler I want so why pay a higher price and have someone else get it?

No sounds a better idea to be honest

You would not save anything if I was quoting for the job.
I price materials at cost and add labour and profit on.

Good job i never booked you then

If you supply the gear, any labour to faulty parts under guarantee would be chargeable.

Why don't they make one of these a sticky?

OP : Do a quick search of one of the multitude of old posts for the reasons why you probably will be no better off.
You men "fitting costs " as in labour? It is a bit stupid to imagine all the fittings, material and chemicals come free.

And when did you last take your car for a service while carrying in the require plugs oil and filter?

Well if i had an electrician rewiring i would probably buy my own lights, prefered switches ( i do hate white ones)
Going on the last job maybe it is better i buy what is needed, that way i would not have ended up with a 22mm tank coil when current setup required a 28mm one. They obviously forgot to tell me that would impact my hot water supply.
But points noted looking at local quotes to get an idea
