Thoughts on quote of boiler replacement

[Andyjm]

Too cheap, cutting corners somewhere.

Tail light warranty.

So how long should it take to replace a boiler? Like I said

There is no way anybody can do this for 1300/1400. The 1550 that you have been quoted is a bargain providing everything is done correctly so I would advise you to take that I doubt you will find anyone else to do it for that price

Thanks J, I do know them so they are doing it cheaper for me, he did actually say it would usually be about 1900/ 2000. Thought I'd check just in case with you guys that know. Thanks again.

Snap his hand off at that price mate. Especially if he is a good engineer and you trust him. I couldn’t do it for that price if I tried.

Thanks Harvest, I do know them well and worked with them for a long time. I just wasn't sure how much labour costs for fitting them.

Its a 2 day job for me.
Or one day for 2 people providing the gas and condensate doesn’t need major work.

Sorry it's only advice before committing to spending quite a lot of money, I do fully trust them but just wondered that's all.

Hi guys, been quoted 1550 for direct replacement of baxi combi 105he with a baxi 830, I know the engineers.. So paying roughly 500 for Labour. What do you think? Plus this is with thermostat fitting etc. I thought about 1300/1400.

Say yes directly, pay him promptly with a cash bonus great price ..centralheatking
