BG have quoted to replace hot air heating system with a wet system and
I really would be grateful for opinions on whether it sounds a good
system (is the boiler any good).

I can't comment on the boiler, but please get some other quotes as well.
BG are notorious for being expensive and also for not adapting their
'standard' systems to teh benefit of the customer. Remember, they are no
longer the 'gas board' and subcontract the work anyway.

We had a BG quote last year for replacement boiler and a few other
things. In my opinion they mis-sized the boiler (all the other quotes
got it right) and I think this may have been because they would have had
to upgrade some extra gas piping.

Their quote was £3875 (but with a 'discount' for no apparent reason)
which made it £3275. Two other quotes were £1948 and £1880 (the latter
for slightly less work). I took the £1948, the work was done at once,
and the standard was very high. My experience of BG in the past has
sometimes been quite bad.
