I used 8 lengths of 22mm,gas took 3 lengths,flow and return 5 ,from boiler to tees that split to feed 3 rads and 4 rads ran 22m ,tee for rad,tee for drops then 15mm ,then the back 3 rad,drops,then 15 mm,so now clock with boiler ,loop with boiler,inhibator £9 quid,roomstat £15 quid so another £24. let me go and get the invoice and you will see ,i never expect to spend more than £1.100 or £1.200 on a new installation,you could do it far cheaper,a biasi condenser combi £400

In your breakdown you said 5 lengths of 22 pipe not 8.
So where do you get copper at 43 quid a bundle

I got 5 lenths for £40.and got 3 bundles of a lad for £100.today i got 5 bundles of 15mm for £100 and 2 pumps,3 mzv ,2 3 port and 1 2 port for £75 and last month i got 1000,15m elbows,coupling and 500 tees,with 250 st elbows for £130 and 400 of the above in 22 m £70 and 20 rolls of solder,20 large powerflo flux,and mix of reducers,conex and speedfit for another £100 inc 2 22m pipe slices,2 15mm p/slices,wirewool,and clips.I dont buy copper unless ive ran out and need it urgently.I will buy what they bring me,because the times they bring boilers is worth buying somethings you know you wont use,but when they ring and say 5 28i junior's,£300 each,flues and timers

Centrica is one of the utility companies I haven't worked for.
the depots I was thinking of had lots of cable reels and stuff. Not so much pipes. But probably the same sort of light-fingered people.
I've heard that in certain Northern towns you can buy combi boilers in near-new condition quite cheaply.

O.k, then here it goes,(2) 36x24 k2= £48 x 2 = £96.00., (1)48x24 k1 =£37 .,(2) 40x24 k1=£31x2=£62.00., (1) 24x24 k1= £19.00.= £214 £214. I got my boiler for £ 635.00,inc flue,timer and loop. I have spent £ 849.00. With having to buy trv's and l/shield's at £7.00 x 6 = £42 and 2 more for towel rail rad £3.00 = £45 + 849= £894. I got 10 r/stat's today for £75.00 rts 8 drayton's , there ok,i had to but one last week for £12 and copper 15mm and 22mm kept me around the 1.100 mark .the rads are vogel & noot, not like stelly's but still ok,nice finish on them,trv's the bulldog valve's trv and l/s in a box
Well, I've just taken out an old servowarm, master rad plus one other s/warm rad, so two new rads plus trvs, Powerflushed, put in a GW 18Sx plus RF stat, bricked up, used another Corgi bloke 7am-6pm.
