Default Reasonable quote for a pressurised HW tank replacement?

What would be a reasonable quote for having a 180L pressurised HW tank
fitted, old one removed, all necessary pipework & drains etc, supplied and
fitted?

Doh! I should have said that I'm replacing a conventional tank, not a
pressurised one.

So does that include stripping out the old cistern, replacing low
pressure shower mixers / pumps etc?


Doesn't include shower mixers and there's no mention of removing the loft
tank but that'll be a doodle in our loft so it's not going to affect the
price much. I'm happy to replace mixers myself.

I've had a quote for £1,400 from a guy I trust to do the work well, I just
don't know how competitive his quote is.

I had a 210L tank replaced about 2 years ago for £1000 all in, it was a
straight swap job. Try phoning Marston heating supplies in Oxford for a
price on the cylinder and go from there.
