Rough Price Check

[cr0ft]

Gents,

13 radiator S-Plan heating system. Gas meter already in the house but no CH system already. Airing cupboard to decommission. New unvented cylinder and boiler going in the attached garage side by side. Appreciate you can't give an accurate price without seeing a job but what would be a ball park figure for doing this in a 4 bed house that's not being lived in yet (labour only, I can obviously price materials myself). I'm curious what others would charge to do a top quality job.

Thanks,

Keiran.

All new hot and cold Pipework as well ?

Nope just connecting into the existing initially, runs of about 5m from existing pipework to the cylinder position, all in the garage area so no lifting floorboards etc for them.

I've got the job, it's just he accepted so quick I think I've underpriced it!

was thinking

unvented 2-3 days
boiler hang and pipe / flue 1 day
first fix 2 days
hang rads 1 day
second fix/ snag 1 day
gas 1 day

 

[quality]

I'm not quick but guessed at 5 days max

dont forget you have all the controls and wiring etc

 

[Howsie]

5k.

 

[cr0ft]

I quoted £2.5k + Vat inc. electrica etc. I figure 10 man days of work basically.

Between 2.5k to 3k with spark doing wiring

 

[hammers4spanner]

Not being funny team of 3 would crash right into that in am empty house , 1 long day wouldn't surprise me if most plumbing would be done.

 

[cr0ft]

Fair point but I don't do long days any more. Or working flat out any more. What's the point I say! Need to find more work to keep myself busy.

Finished a very similar install last week, all brand new as had storage heaters before.
I quoted £5450, and got the job, and was told I was one of the cheapest lol

Sounds reasonable, what's the material prices?
