When a Plumber doesn't reply back

Its install of a new boiler in a new location.

No asbestos. Just moving it either into w/c or kitchen.

The people I found were off the major boiler maker websites - their accredited installers.

I just assumed if I wanted a Boiler then an accredited installer knows that boiler make better than someone who isnt accredited?

Doesn’t mean it’s an easy job just because they’re accredited. Get some independents out listen to what they have to say

Sounds reasonable and logical to me so either the job is a @#$* or there is something else.

most people wont move existing boilers due to too many risks eg not working afterwards etc

Any decent Plumber will be busy I would be more worried if they bit your arm off for the work and came next day , I have gone down the route off pricing higher especially on large jobs where you are tieing yourself up for weeks on end, a phone call from you would at least let you know where you stand JL.

So I am pretty much buggered then. If thats the case why didnt the installers just say that over the phone.

If moving a boiler is that troublesome then I may as well just leave it.

It they were from the major boiler mfrs then they are specifically in the business of fitting new boilers and won't want to move old boilers.
(And if the boiler has "done it's duty" and your not on the bread line why not get new - energy efficiency etc etc)

Its more a case of - what happens if the boiler does not work properly when moved. Whose risk is it ?
