conventional boiler installation cost?

It was three years ago but we needed to move our old boiler to a new place and decided to get a new boiler (Glowworm micron FF60) at the same time. This job involved reworking gas and water pipes within the same room, I did the electrical moves myself. I got the job done for £1000 which included the boiler and the work. I didn't have a pressure wash and don't know whether the extra 750 is for that - but it seems high

thanks for the reply, i have looked around at the prices for boilers,controllers etc. I think i could probably buy all the parts for about £1000 so £750 for 1 days work? hmm does feel a little expensive so i will continue to shop around.

cheers

To give you a idea, ask british gas to give you a quote they are about £500 to a £1000 over most gas fitters. I have just had my boiler and multi point replaced with a combi and 2 extra radiators fitted and the system flushed for just under £3000 by a local gas shop. BG quote £3500 with 1 years free service. It also depends on the boiler size, mine was for 16 radiators and

Firstly, consider getting your current conventional boiler repaired until condensing technology has improved in 2 - 3 years time. If you do go for a condensing boiler, beware of the plume to ensure that it's not a nuisance. I didn't realise that the 'plume' or 'steam' that is ejected from the terminal would be quite so bad!! Looks like we are going out to sea sometimes..... I paid £1900 for a Bosch condensing combination boiler which took about 1.5 days to remove old / install new with new stat / stat cable laid under the floor. Some places quoted £2000+. I live in the London area. Good luck! Cheers, Will.
