Had a plumber round today to quote for replacing an old back boiler, moving some pipework and a radiator, fitting a towel rail and running new water supply pipes to the kitchen.
He's quoted £1450 inc VAT and says it's no more than a days work. The price includes a 28kW Baxi combi boiler with a 2 year warranty or for the same price a 28kW (Vakera?) boiler with a 5 year warranty.
Can anybody foresee any problems with this solution or should I consider another boiler? Also are there any drawbacks to going with a combi boiler? I have a hot water storage cylinder but it's quite old and I'm assuming this will be redundant with a combi.
The flat is quite large compared to modern flats, has 8 radiators but only one combined bathroom/WC.
I also qualify for the £400 scrappage scheme credit.
