********************OLD BOILER**************************Advice please!

[chocolatebirdy]

My boiler is v. poorley, can anyone who has recently bought a new one or has a dp/dh in the trade tell me how much i am looking at. What i am looking for is a combi boiler, we have 1 bathroom in a three bedroom house if this is relevent. TIA.

Anyone? Need to know if i can afford a new one?!

whats your fuel??
dh is in the trade and needs ot know this to give you a price

oil?
Gas?
LPG?

come on I posted less than half a minute after your last post

surely you know

bumpity bump. come back, I want to help

Sorry, dp chatting away!! It is gas.

depending on regional variations about £1500 to £1800 fully fitted

this is based on approximates of
£600 for boiler
£60 for flue
and then the rest is labour for fitting which oviously varies greatly depending on where ytou live and if you get some cowboy who think he can get away with charging too much or not

where do you live??

labour costs or fitting gas boilers are quite expensive anyway because of the need for corgi registration and such

of

We are in the south east junction 8 of the M25, would probably be inclined to go for british gas or someone like that so hopefully avoid the jack of all trades!

Thanks TR, maybe we can stretch to getting it replaced, will get a man round to give me a quote. Thanks.

Personally, I'd avoid British Gas and go for a local (but well-regarded) company. If they are Corgi registered they should be fine.

We had a gas combi boiler fitted in our old house (1 bathroom, 2 beds) in Feb 2004 and it cost us around £1500. That was in St Albans. British Gas quoted us £3500 to do the same job.

TR - thanks again for the boiler advice the other day. The boiler is working beautifully now.
