Reasonable quote heating system?

[MaryBeardy]

Quote for 7x new radiators, including moving the position of two radiators and installing one new radiator in airing cupboard; new boiler installed in loft, removal of old boiler and all piping and hot water tank; power flush; removal of old gas fire and bricking up vent = 7.5k. Is this mad?

I don’t think it’s that mad but I’d get more quotes. We paid less for a similar amount of work but it was mate’s rates from my husband’s friend and without the gas fire bit.

Make sure they’re a registered gas safe engineer, you can check online.

Sounds reasonable to me. The new radiators and boiler will be at least £3000 of that.
It's basically an entire new heating system and also some building work.

Thank you

I know someone who has just had similar work done - although only 4 new radiators. Quote was £6k plus vat.

New boiler in new location (moved from downstairs to upstairs,) removal of old hot water tank etc. 3 new radiators in new locations £3700. Last August.

Our costs were around 6000 to put in new boiler in different location and upgrade system. We didn't have all the radiators replaced.

Wow that’s cheap. Did they do a good job!?

Sounds about right to me.

It sounds quite reasonable to me too. That’s a fair bit of labour, not to mention the cost of the new boiler, radiators and pipework.

Yes, really good. I am in South Wales so rates may be cheaper here.

Sounds ok to me. Ask how many days it will take?

Get a quote from British Gas as a comparison? They are usually pretty expensive.
