Need a new boiler and power flush ASAP. We've built an extension on the house and replaced all but 3 radiators. All the sludge has accumulated in several pipes blocking the radiators downstairs. I was planning to replace the boiler in the new year but it's on it's last legs now (20+ year old Prima F 30000 BTU/9kW).
I've gone through several quotes and think I'm going with a local guy who has done work for some of the neighbours and has been in business for 30 odd years.
Remedial Work: Remove old boiler and dispose of
Powerflush heating system.
Boiler: Supply and fit a Worcester Bosch 15Ri in the same location.
Flue: Fit a horizontal flue using the same hole.
Gas supply: Connect existing supply to new boiler. Test gas.
Does not include running a larger gas pipe which almost certainly won’t be necessary anyway.
Condensate: Run condensate pipe from boiler to a suitable drain
Pipework: Fit a magnetic heating system filter.
Pump: Use existing.
Controls: Fit a new Honeywell mid position valve. All other existing controls will be used.
Ventilation: None required.
Insulation/frost protection: Not required.
Electrics: Wire in new boiler to existing power supply.
Radiator valves: Thermostats can be fitted if required but are not covered in this quote.
Completion: Fill heating system adding a corrosion inhibitor. Test system and commission boiler.
Paperwork: Complete boiler logbook and guarantee forms. Notify Gas Safe and local building control of the new installation.
Handover: Demonstrate system controls as necessary. Give all literature and forms to you.
Guarantee: Boiler currently comes with a five year manufacturers guarantee, upgraded to six years as their filter will be fitted. Their terms and conditions apply. The main condition is that the boiler is serviced within every 12 month period.
Price: £2178.00 including vat
Does this seem reasonable? I had a quote from a plumber I used on the pipework of the extension we built and he quoted much the same except with a Vaillant boiler but no power flush for £1735.
