cost of new combi boiler

Franbern, why don't you ask British Gas for a quote? They installed ours at what I thought was a reasonable cost. Unfortunately the previous boiler, which was relatively new, kept breaking down and I was fed up with it.
The work did involve changing piping as it wasn't compatible with the previous piping.

The cost varies, depending on what needs to be done. They work out how many radiators it will need to support, which determines the size of boiler. I have a Worcester Bosch which supports up to twenty two radiators.

The installation was supposed to take two days, but they did it in one day, because I had severe health issues at the time.
I was delighted with the service.

I would advise getting 3 quotes. British Gas quoted more than double the quote of a local company.

Mine was nearly £2000 fitted by a local gas engineer and it has a 12 year warranty

If your management company has a contract with BG it makes sense to use them.

I'd hazard a guess between £2,200 and £3000 and I'd avoid British gas as they always overcharge.

The quote we had from British Gas was nearly double than from the independent person we chose to go with.

I would suggest you get a couple of quotes from reputable Gas Engineers. Make sure they are certified . Also, go by recommendation. BG are frightfully expensive.

Ours, including new external pipe work was £2,700 nearly two years ago, BG quoted nearer £4k

I would definitely get a few quotes from local independent firms - British Gas are notoriously expensive. Ours cost us about half what they were quoting for exactly the same boiler.

Earlier this year we had to have ours replaced because it kept breaking down-probably due to age.
We used Corgi and have a Worcester Bosch with a remote control.
It cost us less than £2000.

Had ours replaced about 3 years ago by British Gas at a cost of £3000 for a Worcester Bosch. Five year warranty with the boiler and first two years of servicing/maintenance for the whole central heating system were included in the cost.

As others have said, British Gas quoted me double what I ended up paying, I went with Boxt in the end, gice them a try

I meant give 🤣

I have a small house with only 5 radiators. My boiler is on the way out, and my lovely gas engineer has told me to budget £1800 for a new Worcester Bosch in the next year or so.

I had to get a new boiler 3 years ago...a Baxi...local heating engineer instaled it, cost was £2000, with a 10 year guarantee
as long as it's serviced yearly..

Yes, I agree. My mother's quote from British Gas was very high although she was supposed to get a discount as they serviced her existing boiler

I had a new boiler installed by a local engineer for £3000 last year. It is an Ideal boiler all British made with British parts guaranteed for 12 years which you don't get with Worcester Bosch.

BG quoted twice the price for an inferior boiler. My advice is to shop around and go with your gut.

Our Worcester Bosch (above) has a 10 year guarantee, but I’ve no idea where the parts come from. It comes under affordability.

Britis Gas overcharge and don't service properly. Maybe try a good well recommended private plumber

Unfortunately I tried a well respected plumber, hence the reason for going with British Gas the next time.
The new boiler was faulty and flooded my kitchen when I was seriously unwell in bed.
The plumber didn't want to know and told me to phone the manufacturer.
It lasted only three years. I got a great price from British Gas for its replacement, because it was summer time.
I didnt regret it.

Had mine changed in 2020 and it was about £1400, a Weissman boiler, very efficient

I believe the OP is the secretary of the management company which looks after her block of flats. As the man co has a contract with BG she might be able to secure a discount.

Thanks everyone who replied. I was just trying to get some ball park figures.
I will definitely ask BG for a quote and also get one from at least two local qualified people who can be recommended to me by local people.
It is interesting that so many make comments about BG charging so much more.
I will let you know how I get on in this matter.

My mum had a long term service contract with BG who suddenly refused to continue because they wanted her to buy a new boiler. That was 15 years before she went into a care home and the boiler was then, and probably still is, working well.
