We want to have a new boiler and hot water tank installed in a new room so that the existing kit can be removed from a bedroom – I’ve lost the argument with parents / wife about the boiler being safe even with 2 x different makes of carbon monoxide sensors fitted).
The scope of works is reasonably straight forward:
– branch from existing 22mm gas pipe and run 7m new pipe through the void between joists (no cutting required)
– hook up new boiler to existing Hot water / radiator pipes in the ceiling right above the boiler location
– install a new hot water tank in the room immediately above the new boiler
– create towel / summer loop to 2 rads easily accessible in room above new boiler
– install one radiator with spur off pipes that run right past location
– When it’s all working cap off old pipework and remove old boiler / water tank
The materials to be supplied are:
– Vailant Eco Tec 630 with plume kit and flue
– 210L Elson indirect unvented cylinder
– New magnetic filter
– 1x zone valve
– around 7m of 22mm copper pipe
– around 15m of 15mm copper pipe
– 20m of poly pipe
– other odds and sods not specified on the quote
The best quote I’ve had so far is:
Materials £2970+VAT
Labour £4350+ VAT (around 40 hours at their normal hourly rate)
This is in that there London albeit not a posh part.
Is this a million miles off from a reasonable cost?
