Hi,
Am looking at a house that needs renovation, my main worry is central
heating, having not needed to install central heating from scratch I am
unaware of the cost, The property has 3 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms kitchen
and bathroom, what would be a very rough estimate for the cost of installing
CH?, Ok now for the other questions


There are a lot of factors: boiler quality, condensing or not, combi or
stored HW, vented cylinder or unvented etc.

I would say from 3000 quid upwards. The most expensive conceivable would
be with a qulaity condensing boiler and a mains unvented cylinder which
would be around 5000 + cost of water main upgraded if needed.

But for a conventional vented HW cylinder, reasonable non condensing
boiler, about 4000 or 3500 for combi. Perhaps 500 more for bigger firms
to allow for VAT and margins.
