I've had a series of online quotes from Heatable/Boxt/iHeat and so on, but only managed to get one actual local trade to come and quote for a new boiler.

The local guy has come in much cheaper (£4,200 compared to £4,350 - £5,600 online) but I've not had a second cost on the shower yet and honestly trying to arrange it is becoming a headache when I work full time and can't always be at home all day for someone to pop in.

Quote received from local guy:

Replace conventional boiler with combi (model quoted is a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 1000 30kw)
Relocate new boiler to loft, adjusting all pipework as required
Remove both hot and cold tanks from loft/airing cupboard
Subtotal £4,200 for boiler works
Replace existing Aqualisa pumped shower with a standard bar shower
Install new tile(s) where needed after pipework is adjusted
Subtotal £750 for shower
Total £4,950

Guarantee is 2 years on plumbing, 5 years on the boiler.

Quoted price is inclusive of VAT.

Does this seem reasonable? Are there any other questions I should be asking him?

I'm about halfway through saving up for a refurb of my house and I'm looking for a sense-check on whether my estimates are anywhere near the true cost of each item.

I've had two quotes for the garage conversion from local builders based on a short visit, but they both said a firm quote would only follow when I'm ready to start the project.

I don't know if I'm rounding up too much, or if I'm woefully under-budget for these things. Could anyone who's done this kind of stuff before give me an idea?

Floor plan and a photo of the existing kitchen attached to give a sense of size. Admittedly kitchen pic has been AI'd to remove clutter and this has also removed all the plug sockets... I promise I do have electricity in the house!
