hi, could anyone tell me how much roughly to supply and fit a new system using the old pipe work and power flushing it. details are as follows,
vailant ecotec 837 condensing,combi boiler
8 new mid sizes radiators with new valves and trv's
2 new chrome towel rails 500-700
wireless programable room thermestat

also take out old water tank and bolier and plumb in shower off the new bolier.

had 1 quote of £3160 + vat = £3700 thought this was a little steep.

many thanks

depending on size or rads you want as that will effect the boiler how many rooms,

genrealy i fit 80.000btu boilers and 7-8rads for 2k with all new pipework run in 22mm .

but like say all depends on what you use boiler for , type of shower etc

you may be able to get cheaper boilers etc that will do the job just aswell imo

Dont think that so bad for that size and type of boiler

Paid roughly £3200 for similar stuff mentioned above but with completely new pipework (& Worcester boiler) a few months back.

was that including vat?? really gets me the vat thing, don't understand why you have to pay it on labour.

Don't get a wireless thermostat, don't get a wireless anything, unless it is solar powered. Get a wired one, fit and forget, no fking about having to change fking batteries, plus it means I won't be able to park outside your house with another one set to the same code and turn your heating on and off
