I was somewhat surprised by the size of the quote and the cost of the
boiler

I think that we may presume from the above that he's proposing a
rebadged Glow-worm. A Glow-worm 30Hxi is £795 including VAT at

Thanks for that - it helps to know what the boiler might be. All I
have is some marketing stuff from BG telling me how good it is. SEDBUK
A rated, NOX class 5 emissions, SS heat exchanger, on board
diagnostics, "Continua" electronics allowing the boiler to continue
where others may fail (hmm), adjustable for my future radiator needs,
frost protection.

Whether you need £213 of flue extensions is doubtful

I didn't get that either. The boiler is only moving round an inside
corner so it will be less than 0.5m from the outside wall and £213 +
VAT for flue extensions seemed rediculous.

- seemed pricey to me.

Seems typical BG gas price to regular readers here

Thanks for th response.
