it's a family friend quoting the work so is that a good price? seemed a lot at 1st but then theres a fair amount of work there.

would appreciate any input from those in the know or those who has recently had similar work carried out.


many thanks

It's Czech Mate

Very reasonable if you ask me

I agree including the boiler and rads thats not a bad price at all.

thought the scrapage scheme ended at the end of march?

nellyscossy

the scrappage scheme has ended, all vouchers have been allocated, that isnt a bad price either, not a great fan of those boilers though..i would charge about the same

Looks Damn cheap to me, had similar work but quite a few more rads and a worcester boiler and paid 3.5k, also done by someone i know through the trade so i don't think you'll get it done any cheaper!

Fast Guy

Yes that's a good price. I've just paid £2500 for a new boiler (system change) without radiators. It's pretty much what your having done but with an old gas boiler not back boiler.

"run 20 white condense pipe externally to outside drain" 20mm? - My mate told me that Worcester Bosch have just told everyone to upgrade their outside drians to 32mm as they were having alot of problems with them freezing up during the cold weather.

nellyscossy

how true, almost every other callout i had over the winter was frozen condense pipes, not all worcester bosch though, the regulations state that a max of 3m 21mm can be run outside and must be protected against frost, its just as well to use 32mm solvent weld, just looks a bit obtrusive, if not use a condense pump and you can run the pipe internally somewhere without the need for fall on the waste

I seen loads of the 21mm solvent weld pipes arent lagged so they freeze up!

5 year ago when I did the energy effiecency course we were told to lag them!!
