Am posting in here as i'm not registered on the plumbing site and i know some come over from the dark side and read on here.
Question :
I went to client today to conect his immersion heater as boiler was broken and no hot water, no issues there. Then he tells me the plumber has quoted 3k to fit new boiler, though was a bit steep as only changes to pipework for conversion to combi. Then he told me was told boiler could not go back in same place (kitchen external wall) as regulations said it must be in a cupboard so its being put in airing C/B, not heard of this regulation about the cupboard issue. All i could think of was the pipework was easier to change about at that point and did not say. did say i should be done in the day, not sure on make of boiler .
so is this overpriced ? and what about the cupboard ?
He's an old boy and did not want him taken for a ride.
cheers for any replies.
