When I mention I saw he had another office in nearby XYZ town he did admit that was his grans address ... so errrr, maybe that is Mrs Goldspoon!!!
I've been quoted £11,300 (£9600 less vat) for a new heating system.
Does this sound about right (South East prices!) ?
Details:
4 bed house .. 2 floors .. removing old single pipe system.
12 Rads + TRV's and all new piping over two floors
Using 22mm flo/returns over most off the house, braching off to rads in 15mm.
Worchester Bosch High Flow 550 boiler.
Removing conventional cylinder and running 22mm to its existing hot connection.
I was initially shocked by the quote expecting a £3K less than that.
Plumber thinks it will take two of them 2 weeks solid.
The boiler is £2K inc vat, and I guess pipework and rads about £1.5-2K
So £5K in labour?
PS: I have carpets already and told plumber making good the flooring is not an issue since I will be replacing with ply.
im thinking of going on holiday, travel agents want £4844 for all the family.

I reckon you are being ripped off , a holiday is a holiday , were is the confusion
Strangely enough a bloke down my road had a similar job done as well , he had a similar boiler , similar radiator's made of metal ,similar trv's , similar control's , pipe run's were probably similar , flooring was similar eg wood ??? Yep the job was similar , my mate has just bought a new transporter van like mine paid £3000 more than I did , cannot understand it , alright he had an auto box , air con' , 4 wheel drive , towing hook , roof rack ect ect , but it is a similar van , I reckon he was ripped off !!
mr lewis, how do you compare your £6500 job and the other guys £11300 job?? is it because they sound 'similar'?? or have you actually done a detailed survey of the mans house?
pointless...
