Replacing conventional boiler with combi condensed boiler
 

My plumber quoted £2,500 incl VAT (parts and labour) to replace my
conventional boiler with a 28KWATTS Worcester Combi Condensed boiler.
The boiler costs about £750-800 incl VAT. Is the labour cost too
expensive?

We just paid £2.600 to have same boiler Worcester Greenstar 28 installed,
with 5 replacement radiators, (we had two newish ones already) a new
stopcock, so I would have thought just to have boiler installed was a bit
pricey. Have you tried a few more quotes? He also removed old cylinder in
bedroom, and cut off old lead pipes etc, he also capped a gas fire in lounge
for us too. He was 4 days doing the job, with himself and another chap. We
are in the north west of the UK. Perhaps that makes a difference to pricing.

It also includes removing old cylinder, tank and boiler and flushing
the heating system. We live in the NW of England.

A couple of years ago we had a combi replaced with a new combi - labour
was £400 in West London.
Ask him what's going to take 4-5 days work - is he replacing/re-routing
alot of pipework?

Personally, I would get a bigger rated combi - at least 35kW - it
doesn't cost much more and the flow rate is much better.

We didnt buy the boiler ourselves, we just asked him to get all the parts.
We didnt price things seperately

If he's going to do it eleven times then no, probably not

Indeed. If you like baths and are used to a stored hot water system
you may be very suprised when your bath takes a long time to fill.

Which model combi is he going to fit? If it is the highflow with a
internal heat bank then things may be different.
