Vented system to Combi

[TotalR]

Expensive in what way? Gas usage?

Yeah was very expensive to run over winter. Given its old and non condensing I guess it shouldn’t of been a shock.

 

[TotalR]

Combi conversion for £1500!!! Wow

Why wow? Days work with £1050 boiler/flue.

I suppose if the guy works through his lunch lol

 

[Aire]

I'd be very wary of the plumber willing to do a boiler for that price

 

[TotalR]

Is he flushing the system?

Pipe work is about 3 months old with a magnaclean already fitted.

Plumbers**

Plumbers**

Have they asked for cash?

 

[Riley]

I’d still be dubious, have they mentioned gas pipe sizing? I’m sorry it’s way too cheap. Are they all gas safe??

 

[TotalR]

Have they asked for cash?

Any other irrelevant, non constructive comments?

 

[Riley]

You’re asking for professional opinion we are giving you professional opinion it’s way too cheap to be a quality job

Yes. As said gas is 22mm. Why would you think I should pay a plumber more than £450 for a day? Boiler is going in the same place as original and they need to do some alterations in the airing cupboard. Or are you all the 1k a day plumbers/brain surgeons.

 

[Aire]

Given your initial question, and the very cheap quotes, I'm starting to suspect you may be doing alot of the work yourself.

I’ve not asked for any opinion on the price, I’ve employed many tradies over the last 5 years not to worry about it.

I’m truly disappointed that you feel that way.

So it’s one guy on his own?
What about other materials copper, controls etc?

I didn’t ask their arrangements. I have copper and controls.

 

[Aire]

Do You have boiler+ compliant controls?

 

[TotalR]

Do You have boiler+ compliant controls?

Have a hive.

 

[shyguy2005]

Yes he has smart Honeywell trv kit in with that price too.

Do You have boiler+ compliant controls?

We're not trying to wind you up, but a combi conversion, (a proper one) isn't a days work. And anyone quoting £1500 for a boiler install is either in desperate need of the work or they're not registering/declaring the work.

I’m sure you feel you are correct, but I don’t know why you would know more than 3 plumbers that have been in my property and seen it with their own eyes and come highly recommended.

What could possibly take longer than a day? Boiler goes in cupboard, gas already there, condense pipe straight through wall, hot and cold already there. Flow return already there. Airing cupboard, do the adjustments that I don’t know what is done because everyone wants to be a know it all instead of answering my initial question except for the helpful response from Scott.

Again, you must be the 1k brain surgeon?
