How much would you expect to pay for.....

[RedlightGreenlight]

a new boiler?
4 bedroomed house, 6 rooms downstairs plus hall, 6 rooms upstairs. Each room has a radiator apart from one which has 2 .

We have has a quote which as shocked us .... how much do you think it might be?

About £7k if using existing pipes and rads

We just paid £3500 for new boiler and flush and hive through British Gas. Similar sized house.

3 years ago we had central heating installed including a brand new combi boiler, 10 rads, all work etc for 3.5k.

I can't believe the quotes on here!

I think ours was about 2k installed. A few years ago in the south east but a 3 bed semi. Using a local heating engineer.

I paid £5k plus vat (so basically 6k) for a new boiler, 9 radiators and all new pipework - as house didn't have central heating at all.

So for a boiler, I'd expect at least £2k if not a little more.

We paid £2k for an oil fired Worcester Bosch - but with staff discount on the boiler itself. Large 4 bed house.

About £2-3000 if it's a straight new boiler with installation and flushing included.

I'm sure our last boiler was about £4K

£4-6k depending on what exactly you were getting.

£3k

I paid about £3k all in for baxi combi boiler. They removed the old water tank and boiler and put in a new shower. No new radiators.

Ours was £1800 in Yorkshire

3-4K?

Shit I had no idea boilers were so expensive

We paid £1900 for a Baxi boiler last year including installation and power flush using existing rads and pipe work. Not a combi as we have a mega flow.

We paid 3k for a combi in a studio flat in London

It’s was for a similar sized house and it was a 32 kw Baxi Megaflo System Boiler

Ours totalled £10.5k but included some extras.
New oil tank and relocation - required new base, fire boarding
Outside oil combi boiler
Removal of old water tank
Replaced 5 radiators with one relocated

Other extras were hot and cold water plumbed into the garden and electrics for hot tub

Thank you for the many replies.
To answer some of the questions
Yes 2 bathrooms, one electric shower and one of the system.
No new pipe work needed just replacing Baxi boiler with 35w Worcester one
British Gas quoted 4K but that includes 'flush and filter' . I thought it was a lot but I'm beginning to think that it's about right.

For a straight swap that seems a bit pricey, and British Gas are known for being at the higher end of the scale. I'd look for an accredited installer for one of the big brands (Worcester Bosch are well considered) and ask them to do you an independent quote. I also had the boiler changed in our BTL last year and that was around £2k, including moving the location.

(It was a smaller boiler than you'll need though)

I would get at least two other quotes. British Gas tend to quote high.

IMO British Gas might be a bit more expensive but the customer service has been really outstanding so far. And the quote wasn’t that much more than others.

Ours was just over 4K for Worcester boiler replacement and replacing a kitchen tap/sorting a leaking radiator. British Gas are notoriously expensive though so I’d try a local plumber to compare.

British Gas are expensive when I was shopping about last year. We ended up about £3k (scotland) but I got some other bits done at the same time like removing old gas fires that would have been a few hundred of that.
