Would you?
I have one wanting a labour only price
After a few messages I have managed to get an answer that it's a vokera and needs a verticle flue.

After a few messages, you got the boiler brand and it's needs a vertical flue.
Chances are you are one of many who have been contacted.
Most people would ask you to come and look at the job to give a quote for the works needed.

To me it sound like the landlord is trying to get a fixed figure via messaging and holding the contractor to that price.

Either go look at the job or walk away.
 
I'm doing an oil one for a landlord. Made them buy a hounsfield boiler and my labour only price is just over ÂŁ1500.

No. That's my answer.
Not worth it. They will pester you stupid if anything goes wrong because you fitted it.
It's worth the risk of callbacks or warranty issues with a Boiler you are making money on and a customer you want to keep and one who will remain loyal.
People who want cheap, are not normally the loyal type.
In my experience.
 
I have the same issue i do work for a local one man band builder who has a small terraced house which has a 12year old vokera combi i have serviced and repaired i recomended he get it changed this year as it is getting noisey ,and is struggling to supply hotwater for the tenant hes keen on another vokera as its given him no major problems in the time its been fitted and his thinking is i can swap it in a few hours as the pipework layout will be the same, wrong told him 2days labour ÂŁ600+materials ÂŁ1000 take it or leave it we can all be busy fools bud quote you price and stick to it . cheers kop
