Hi All,
I am doing some work in newly bought house and the plumber had looked at the Valiant boiler and said it was very dangerous and needed piping inc few other bits of work but wanted to know how much that would cost as he quoted me £1600. he said the boiler is a good one and its fine just the pipework and other bit.
I am situated in London as i know London pricing can be different.
so currently the boiler is located in the kitchen and the kitchen is stripped down to bare bones as the new units have not been fitted yet.
Job
replace 15mm inlet gas pipe with 22mm pipe all the way to meter and earth the meter regulation standard
new flute which will be fully sealed (current one not sealed)
run a new gas feed from boiler to new hob (see diagram)
run new pipes for kitchen sink (see diagram)
redo whole piping under the boiler joining onto existing pipes located on left of boiler (check pictures)
this includes relocating the pipes to the bottom that go into the cloakroom toilet
redoing the two exit pipes outside
replace magaflow filter
powerflush (tank in loft disconnected now)
Gas mark safe certificate
replace sink and toilet in cloakroom toilet (which I have supplied)
he goes he charges £150 @ day and will take him 5 days to complete the work and the rest is materials.
so overall £1600 for the whole work.
is the above a good price or overpriced for the work needed?
any advice is appreciated.
