I started a thread about moving an oil tank a couple of months ago http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/ot-off-topic-forums/134318-moving-oil-tank.html but when I cleared the area I found a manhole cover 
so that put an end to that idea.
Things have changed slightly and im going to replace the boiler and move it to a new position and need a new bunded tank. I've had 2 quotes and waiting for a third but the prices seem to be way too high so far.
New boiler under the stairs, a new 1250ltr tank 2metres away, 3 new trv valves and a power flush. I don't want the flow and return pipes on show in the kitchen so it needs new pipework under the floor to the new boiler. Remove tank in bathroom and remove tanks in the loft, remove old boiler but leave old tank in the garden.
I will be bricking up the window under the stairs for the new flue, chasing out the floor outside for the new oil pipe, moving the fuse board 500mm under the stairs to allow for new pipe runs from the bathroom, new fused spur for the boiler and im doing the programmer wiring. Most of the downstairs boards have already been up and the carpets and underlay have gone as oak flooring is going down. Upstairs boards have been up as im half way through rewiring the house and its an easy route back to the boiler from the immersion tank.
Quotes come in at £5800 and £5000 inc vat
One quote gave the boiler make so I googled it.....£1004 inc vat and a tank is approx £800 inc vat or say £1000 max so that makes over £3k for labour, pipework, powerflush, magna clean and commissioning plus removing the immersion tank but that will be going straight to the scrappy for a little cash back
Im a tradesman myself and I know about the overheads that go with it but does this seem expensive to any heating guys lurking on here? or is it just me.
