How to read a price for boiler repair, leaks and bathrooms

Heatable’s national boiler guide, updated 9 October 2026, puts a like-for-like combi swap at £1,800–£3,500, median £2,300, from quotes in January to June 2026. That guide does not publish a Birmingham pound total. A separate Heatable page, updated 12 August 2026, calls its city comparison a crude estimation and puts Birmingham about 1% under its national average. It does not turn that note into a Birmingham pound band, and this page does not calculate one. Terraces and inter-war houses sit inside Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. Solihull, Wolverhampton and Dudley are not on this list, so do not price a Black Country job from a Birmingham card. Ask whether removal, controls and VAT sit inside the £1,800–£3,500 line, or whether the job is a conversion above it. A figure here is not a quote from this site. Checked 14 October 2026.

Terraces and inter-war houses sit inside Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. Solihull, Wolverhampton and Dudley are not on this list, so do not price a Black Country job from a Birmingham card. Then ask whether the written price matches the job, and whether they will visit your postcode.
