New boiler quotes, what's the going rate?

[robj20]

Had the first quote back for the following.

Ideal Vogue C32 gen2.
Vertical flue kit + flat roof seal.
Ideal filter.
Honeywell Evohome for 7 radiators.
Evohome Opentherm Bridge.
Re-pipe gas in 22mm, approx 5 meters.
Route cold in 22mm, approx 4 meters + stopcock.
Remove old boiler.

That comes to £3226.

Other guy came round today so should get that quote in the next few days.

Reason I'm asking is a friend is saying it sounds expensive.

Do you have a combi boiler now or is it a cylinder?

Cylinder, but im removing all that and fully replacing all the central heating, radiators and pipework. They will be left connecting up with the required copper pipe to the plastic I'm fitting.
Boiler is in a different spot so needs the flue and condensate doing, to a nearby washing machine waste.

£ 3226 !!!! All in , not expensive at all

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Honestly it's about right if not a bit cheap evo home isn't cheap

And I'm sure we're on the v3 of the vogue now

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Just worked something out

You've got about 2-2.5k in materials / controls plus any copper / fittings

Thats not expensive £4000 down here bud , 28mm for the gas would be better why take the risk of a unacceptable pressure drop. Cheers kop

You are being ripped off. Should not be too much more than about
£2200.00. Shop around, you can always get it cheaper.

Yes, but cheaper is not always better. Also the boiler is over 30kw which means it will be over a grand for the boiler alone. If you are offering that price and you can do it for that. Give the custard your details and you've got yourself a nice job there mate. You could even charge a bit more for fuel and hotels.

I added most of the parts up to be about £1900. Then have the cost of the piping, and labour + some profit on the parts maybe. If your anywhere near Manchester and send me your details and you can come and have a look.
