Am I being ripped off...? Heating & Plumbing Quote

I totally agree with keeping the cylinder if you can. If the cylinder is in the middle of the house it can supply the taps with fairly short pipe runs. If you have a combi boiler in the wrong place you might have a very long pipe run through plastic pipe and a low rate of water flow.

Since they haven't been seen on the forum since Wednesday my guess is we'll never know...

It’s takes years for people like us to get to the level we are. All you guys have done is answer his questions and give your opinion lol.

Impossible to answer, literally.
The only part we could answer sensibly is the parts and labour prices

Let's say you told us he is charging you £1,500 for the boiler, then we can say yes that is a good price.
If he is charging you £80 an hour in Kent which is capped at £400 per day then that is also fair.

What we cannot see is the length of pipe runs, cost of smaller items such as TRV's, Room Stats/Programmers, Brand of radiators etc.

All the listed things can vary immensely such as a cheap £8 TRV to a nice £84.99 smart TRV, see where I am going here, 10 cheap ones would be £80 and 10 fancy ones would be £849.99, massive range there.
