advice needed on new pipework on boiler

[Chalked]

Hi
It's always surprising how quick time goes and how young customers think there boiler is. I think you will find that model ceased manufacture in 2000! So it's a minimum of 17 year old.
It was a good boiler. If it's still in good health, it should see a few more years. Start saving a few quid for a new one.

New vaillint flue compatible??

How on earth people get away with installations like this is beyond me!!! Boiler is atleast 10 year old? if he could get a compatible flue it would cost best part of £80. Gas pipe looks like it branches off 28mm with short run of 15mm. Probably satifactory.
In all honestly best to bite the bullet and replace the boiler, and all that god awful pipework!

Think thats the wrong boiler as the one your quoting is non condensing. think heres is an ecotec pro early model...got revamped in 2008 i think??

It is a mess and for london rates its about the right price just check they are gas safe registered cheers kop.

They've quoted £150 a day and that's about the right price for London? Recently I've been told on this forum that I should be charging at least £180 a day in Colchester (Essex/Suffolk border). Now I'm confused...

EDIT - I now see location is no longer under name as on the old forums, but Colchester is hardly a low-price area, compared with most of UK.

Or do you mean £1600 is about the right price, KOP?

I thought condensate externally should be run in 32mm min and lagged?
