9/10 companies will take a mark up on the price of the materials as their discounts from the merchants can be anything from 20%-80% depending on what products they are buying.

Companies have to make a profit but the price is slightly excessive,get a few more quotes to ease your mind that you are not getting ripped off.

Depends what part of the UK you live in as rates vary.

The boiler will be about £670 - programmer etc no more than £150 - decent output double panel rad say £80 max - thermostatic rad valves say £15 max each - copper tube max £120.

Various fittings say £75.....there you go, say £1300 for all the bits 'n pieces.

You gotta ask yourself how long are these guys going to be there to earn the extra £1900 ?

From what you have decribed it is all surface work and no removal of floorboards then there can't be more than five days work there for a lone operator.

Ask how much they would do the job for on a labour only basis - i.e. you supply the materials, that should be interesting
