Bog standard combi that will need a condensate fitting when it is

plumbed into the HW taps at these sinks) however it need not be super
high powered [1].
Easy access to boiler and pipework. No breakables or expensive carpets
to worry about in the building. Easy private parking (about 5ft from the
front door of the building) for 3 vans if you want to.Condensate run not
too bad down to the kitchen waste pipe area.
I would say that I could do the job on my own in a day and I am not a
plumber.
[1] ATM the sinks HW (or lack of it) is fed from a broken electric 3kW
HW wall mounted heater and it would cost less to plumb them into a combi
than replace the HW heater so this is part of the quote.
All quotes were NOT to include electrical work, cost of stats and
programmers etc.
Any guesses on the quotes?

I was quoted £2.2k in London for a new combi, but I specified a Vaillant
that seems to cost around £1000. In the end, it was done by someone
else for around £1700.
But you can also get a combi for £500 less.
lot less than that on ebay
Really? I was looking for 28KW, and the cheapest I could find is around
the £500 mark. Maybe your search skills are better than mine? Anyway,
there's clearly scope to save a few bob on the boiler.
Are boiler fitters very strong? Some of these boilers are really quite
heavy.
I removed a back boiler with a cast iron heat exchanger from a flat I'm
renovating. No problem getting it downstairs on the sack truck, but
there was no way at all I could get it in the car to take it to the
dump. Very embarrassing.
