Hello, new to post but have read items on this site many times.
Just moved in to outdated 5 bed house. We have old lead pipes in basement and a 1970's glow worm boiler. We have had two quotes in from recommended corgi istallers. Both quotes include
- installing Megaflow 210 in basement and installing system boiler
- removing all old pipework and replacing with new for both heating sytem and hot and cold water supplies.
- 11 x new radiators.
there are also various bits and pieces like adding controls and manga cleans etc.
However, one quote came in at £6500 including all hardware and VAT and one quote came in at £9,400.
The price difference is quite confusing. We don't want to pay under the odds and then have someone crimping or start adding to their bill but we are not rich.
So question 1 - is £6,500 a reasonable price?
Question 2 - our water mains supply is an old lead pipe. The mains supply down our street has also not been updated and is still old pipes. Both plumbers have suggested just connecting the megaflo to our internal supply (old lead pipe). However, will this compromise the efficiency of the megalfo?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
