Idea of cost to move boiler and immersion?

We're looking to change the layout of our house, and want to move the utility room. Problem is, the boiler and immersion heater are in there, as are things like cables for wifi. Does anyone have a very rough estimate of how much it would cost to move a boiler and immersion heater?? It would be to a room on the other side of the house so not an easy job, though really not sure what's even involved. Even a very ballpark figure would be so helpful! Thanks

We were quoted £1000 to move our boiler as part of some renovation works we are having done, but this was without a proper site survey (so probably would have been a bit more,).

We had a site survey done with a specialist company and the Engineer told us that boiler work is quite labour intensive and that it why it is so expensive. We are getting a new boiler and need new pipe work, they are replacing the flue and recommended we have the system flushed, so costs have added up.

Moving the boiler and immersion that far is almost the same in terms of work as getting a whole new heating system fitted. The floors will need to come up for the whole of the route between where the boiler is now and the new location and it might be difficult to fit new pipes in depending on what is under there. We had a new hearing system fitted about 4 years ago and it cost about £10,000 including boiler and pressurised hot water tank and ten radiators. I would guess that as prices have gone up a bit but you would have lower costs that it would be a similar amount. Could be cheaper but definitely several thousand.
