Oh also forgot to say, bathroom hot water quickly, kitchen long wait, then you have all the hot water in the pipe that goes cold, 30mins later want more hot, long wait again then more waste.

Are all your hot water pipes insulated???

Thats an easy partr to leave out for those who are looking for cheapness instead of quality!

Any boiler in loft should have a permanent retractible ladder so access should be easy!

Have retractible ladder, pipes only insulated in the loft. I think if all the pipes were lagged you would still be having to wait for a hot flow.
As I said great for the shower/bathroom.

i would say it was a competitive quote...I would question the need for a 250l cylinder, and the location of that and the cylinder...


I reckon manhandling those two and re routing all the pipework adds considerably to the quote, at least when I quote in London. a decent combi in the kitchen near the current boiler will be much cheaper..

Boilers and cylinders in lofts are fine,but access has to be as good as a normal room

if you do decide to do some sensible system design then give the man who gave you that quote the chance to quote again...

Does seem a little high but it all depends on what actually needs doing, we can all guess what needs doing but the soil alone could be an absolute nightmare.

C'mon it's a 1200Ft2 semi, not a Castle.

Here's a good plumbing quote


"Sh*t runs downhill".

Not always.

And that's when we get called out to give it a little push with a jetting machine.

They changed from 9 litre to 6 litres to save water and then we get called out and use 100 gallons to jet their manhole and drain lines.

An undersink heater might be of some use with a tee off to the downstairs wc.

Doesn't the saying go that any quote is too expensive for a Scot?

 

[PEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN]

I should fit a Ferroli Optimax with a RDj10 stat in the loft , don't bother with all that flooring lighting ladders regs as well, that will get the cost down a lot, 5 year warranty on the boiler.

 

[HERTS P&D]

Without the loft flooring, ladder and handrail your 5 year warranty on the boiler would be worthless as no one would go up into the loft due to H&S.
