Installing a new boiler in a extension

[andy183]

I've been quoted £1900 for labour to fit a new boiler to an extension. The boiler is a Worcester Greenstar 34CDi. I was quoted another 1500 for the boiler but found it being sold by a major company online for 300 pounds less.

The price includes fitting the boiler, and running new gas and water pipes to the garage which has the gas and water mains. It doesn't include the price of the boiler.

Having to buy a new boiler was a suprise, and Its a lot of money so I was wondering if this is a good price or not?

Thanks for the replies.

Sounds pretty steep to me, though location makes a big difference to cost.
Whereabouts are you?

I'm in Oxford. My parents had their boiler installed for around 1k including the boiler.

They didn't have to run gas pipes and water new which is the bit which is unusual here as we are aiming to end up having two boilers.

The plumber said it would take him a day and half to install the boiler so I guess thats around 800 quid.

So that leaves 1100 for the builder who has to dig up a channel in a concrete floor and run 28mm copper pipes around 15m to the garage to pick up gas and water directly.

What is the make and model of that boiler?

My parents boiler? It was a glow worm 35 kw boiler (i think a Flexicom 35cx )

I'm looking at getting a Worcester Bosch 35cdi Combi Boiler

That c.£1,000 doesn't leave much for labour once cleanser, inhibitor, copper tube & fittings, registration with building control, etc. are taken into account. I suggest you ask the same guy that installed your parents boiler, providing that they are gas safe of course.
