Am I being overcharged

[frew]

Hi, I live in 2 bed tenement flat with a 6 radiator central heating system. Scottish gas are replacing my old combi boiler with a Worcester Greenstar 28I high efficiency boiler with a condensate pump and powerflush to system for £2555 less £300 discount, total £2255.
A builder I happen to know recons this price is very high so I would welcome any expert opinion

Scottish power have very large overheads... hence there price is high...shop around try and get some "word of mouth" recommendation..


Get another couple of quotes !

In all fairness that price isnt too over the top, You will probably find a smaller company to do it for a bit less

 

[mark.brazenor@b]

To be honest it would be difficult to say as we haven't seen the job, however it doesn't sound way, way over the top

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

as mentioned get a local company or one man band in to give another quote

That will give you piece of mind

Its hard for us to say as we cannot see the layout and pipe runs

Not too bad as it goes.

Recently went to quote for a similar job.Went in after Bg and they had quoted £3750 for the same thing.
As already said get another few quotes.

BTW ALL the builders I know, would not be looking at installing WB, but usually ravenheaps or anything that they can get from their DIY sheds!
