More expensive than BG!

[GQuigley67]

I never even knew it was possible until today!

Anyway just done an open vented boiler changover,new valves and new Y plan controls. I was cheapest at £1800 for worcester 15ri (I'm not VAT) BG was 2300 (boiler only) and there were another 2 companies coming in at 3k to 3.5k(boiler only) and claiming customer was getting 400 boiler scrappage!!

Scandalous.

BG vary their proces based on demand. Sometimes you can get a decent deal from them like in your example. Never known them to swap a boiler for less than 2k labour though, at least down here.

Last one I saw remember a charge of £24 for a "Worcester Filling Loop" on a system boiler quote. I'd love to hear their response if someone turned around and said Nah I dont want that bit..
