It is not really a good idea to ask on forums if it is a good price or not, we cannot see the job so cannot really say how much it should cost, try getting three separate quotes and take the one you feel most happy with, this does not have to be the cheapest, it could be the middle or the dearest, it can depend how you find the proffessionalism of the installer.

all 10m of it Wink

point to consider is the size required and whether the reat of the gas supply needs to be upsized to say 28mm.

Reply #8 - Jun 19^th, 2005, 7:57am I like speedfit better for gas runs, the white pipe looks better, but dont get too near the fire as it tends to go shiny and bendy
