If your house already has a central heating system then I would replace the radiators myself as this would cut the cost drastically. When a plumber replaces the radiators he will use the existing pipework anyway so by doing the radiators yourself it then becomes a boiler change plus taking out the old cylinder tank. We had a similar thing done and it cost around �1200

Hi Simon I currently have a multi point system with only wall heaters so this would be a complete new system........do you think it is still too steep?


thanks for your reply

Question Author
oops sorry Simeon
If it is a complete new system ie no existing pipework then the answer is no I don't think it is too steep. Carpets will have to be lifted floorboards removed, it is quite a big job. So in my humble non plumber opinion it sounds reasonable.

Hi Simeon,thanks for your response, they did say it will take 3 days work so I guess its a good price.

One thing I forgot to mention, British Gas are very very expensive so If you have been quoted by them then you could have it done by an independent plumber a lot cheaper possibly down to �3000

It's not a British Gas quote its another supposedly reputable company that gives unbeatable prices.......still going to get a few more quotes regardless. I was told about british gas being very costly.


Thanks

It sounds a reasonable price.
