Sorry it's only advice before committing to spending quite a lot of money, I do fully trust them but just wondered that's all.

Hi guys, been quoted 1550 for direct replacement of baxi combi 105he with a baxi 830, I know the engineers.. So paying roughly 500 for Labour. What do you think? Plus this is with thermostat fitting etc. I thought about 1300/1400.

Say yes directly, pay him promptly with a cash bonus great price ..centralheatking

You’ll need to check they can register the boiler with gas safe and have their own company number

For me it’s too cheap to be genuine.
It’s £1200 for boiler, flue, lime fighter, shock arrestor, chemicals and cheap controller.

leaves £350 for 2 men, 2 visits and a few hours of admin.
Also pipe, fittings, clips, flux, solder, screws, plugs, sand and cement. All assuming gas and condense are already adequate.

Then someone has to collect boiler, clear waste and hope don’t get a call back.
