Is this a reasonable quote for the following work?

[MaxP779]

Ive been quoted ~£2650 for the following:

- switch from regular boiler system to combi boiler
- upgrading of 15mm gas pipe to 22mm via external pipe
- fitting condensate? pipe that runs to sink drain (i think its intended to run here)
- removal of old hot/cold tanks
- new mixer shower installed and old pump shower removed
- 7 drayton TRV4's and lockshields fitted to existing radiators

The parts alone seem to cost ~£1600 when priced online.
Its a worcester 29CDI boiler, magnaclean pro 2 filter, honeywell controls and thermostat, mira shower.

The guy seemed to know his stuff, not that im really able to judge but from what ive read online it all checks out. How does the price sound?

Why not get a few more plumbers to give you a quote to see where they come in at? I've never quite understood why more people do not get at least 3 quotes for things.

I did, ive got another survey today and im waiting on another guy to email me his quote.

Keep the magnaclean, they are not gimmicks.

One thing to check, is he going to powerflush the system. You don't want a new boiler on a dirty system.

Yeah a lot of the DIYnot and plumbersworld people seem to swear by them. Its the worcester own brand filter thats listed, think ill try and get the magnaclean pro 2 though because nobody seems too impressed with the worcester one.

Flushing the system is part of it yep.

I had a British gas man quote me recently. I made a thread on it too.
I was quoted the SAME as you and that was still keeping my old water tank!

With ripping out your old tank and fitting a new combi boiler I would say your price is about right. For me a combi is a no-go as the cupboard in the kitchen where the current boiler is located is not big enough for a combi, so everything would need relocating to my airing cupboard slapping on £££.

Is it a cupboard wall unit or a big walk in cupboard? Im ripping off my wall unit to fit in a 29CDI.
