Combi boiler replacement cost

[DIYspanner]

My sister's 15 year old Procombi A32 has been condemned because the heat exchanger is blocked.

The heating business that fitted the Procombi have quoted for a new boiler install.
Main combi 30kw £2198 inc vat (5 year warranty)
Baxi Platinum 30kw £2846 inc vat (10 year warranty)

Are these quotes reasonable considering there'll be minimal pipe work to do?
The boiler is in an upstairs cupboard.

Where is she in the UK.

Location matters a lot

Condemned in what way ?
As for the price it looks like a vertical flue that will be coming out the roof so the amount of flue extensions soon ramp up the cost at 60 quid a piece then vertical terminal at over 100 quid , lead slate, flue elbows at around 80 quid a pair .
Will also need a new programable room stat as the clocks dont come on the boilers anymore.
.
but
Baxi platinium compact is not 650 quid dearer than the main 30kw.prob around £350 with no extra work required to fit it as its basically the same boiler
And it also comes with the filter in the box saving up to a hundred quid there as well

Its Co Durham

The flue goes into the attic and out the gable end.

The diagnoses is a chocked/blocked heat exchanger, £910 inc vat quoted to supply & fit a new one.

The 5 year warranty compared to the 10 year is likely the price difference. Warranty is paying for replacement parts in advance.

i take it they are on about the main heat exchanger at that price and not a plate heat exchanger .
Yeah i know the price difference is the warranty length but that doesnt change the fact there should not be a 600 quid difference in price for something that is only 350 quid dearer to buy .
