For a cheap skate landlord I can do a combi swap in a day for£1000. However there will be little guarantee apart from they will need to throw money at it later... But I tell them this and they are ok about it.
As for doing a proper job, set up correctly, flushed clean properly, with a decent boiler and all the paperwork filled in correctly. A must and takes extra time if you want that 5year or whatever warranty.
You are talking 2 days providing everything goes well. So yes I would send a quote for 2.5-3 days coz no one pays more if something takes longer. Oh and no one mentioned electrics, either pay a spark to do it or you have to do those courses and pay for those quals as well.
£2500 no probs. and that's for a simple one. You should spend a little time with your installer, have a chat with him and suss out if you are getting a proper job or a cowboy after a big payout.

That is laughable, 900 pound, bet you are fitting a good boiler and doing a cracking job for that, registered by any chance??? Insured???? You might as well get a job as a labourer for that
To be a customer paying that for a job, you must deal with landlords, chep skates and just the plain stupid

Aberrrrrrdeeeeeeeeeennnnnn, wrings hands, will yee nooo be haveeen a seeeeeel.........
the other costs you are missing are the copious amounts of money us gas fitters need to spend on alcohol to drink away the thoughts and memories of people who go on about how 'plumbers/gas fitters charge so much'....and usually those very same people have no worries about spending +£350 quid for some spotty nosed 16yr old apprenctice to service their car at the 'main dealer' because that very same motor car sits on the drive and looks swish!
bunch of anus's that deserve everything they get when they allow the lowest priced idiot fit the piece of junk boiler they brought online to try and 'save a few pounds'.
try that rubbish in germany, average install cost there is +15000 euro!!
have to say to all the knobs who decry the guy for doing £900 boiler swap we all have to know our customer base and it would be really good to be able to get london rates but if we all move to london to charge what the london based fitters charge your prices would have to drop.
you guys dont know whta its like to try and run a business in areas where very high unemployment means ppl with limited budget still need to keep themselves and their children warm so get real and thank your lucky stars you have customer base with disposable income

I have no problem with him charging 900 aslant as he is not unregistered, and is not telling the customer he is doing the same job as the guy charging 2000 or 3000 when in fact he is doing nothing close to
Dearie me, seems to be a few 'sparkies revenge' threads about at the moment doesn't there?
I suppose we can't blame them - If I'd finished a three year apprenticeship (or four day course) and finally become qualified to find that I could only earn £8/hour I think I'd be bitter and twisted too

well ollie20 you have to be to be registered to be on cc and so what makes you think the £900 boilerman is illegal cos really we should be sure of our facts before we accuse ppl of crimes
I'm perfectly legal with all the bells and whistles
What concerns me more. Is the jobs that people around me do
where they have done a very poor job and charged the poor customer
an arm and a leg for. They are legal too. Although you would
never guess it from the jobs I get called out to sort out.
I am saying a lot of unregistered guys do cheap jobs and make out to the customer they're giving them the same as the guy who quoted a better boiler a gas run, a power flush, fits the boiler so it comply's with all the regs, not just where is easiest regardless
The rest obviously stands to a lot of cheap jobs
Yes in you are in the CC, then it's as good a your A.C.S. certificate, I will show it at my next interview
I'm not saying you or anyone else is not registered I'm talking about jobs that I come across
