@jamespawhite, if you could be bothered, you could also get a quote from OVO.

@stevettweed, and can you please get one from OVO?

This is what I got from OVO. At least it was quick..

Price guide for a 4-bedroom home

A heat pump and installation could cost between: £11,500 and £16,500
This is a guide price after the £7,500 government grant* is applied.

British Gas 50* design temp

• Don’t recall scops but likely close to 400%
• Replace 7 rads
• 200l Valiant standard tank
• 5kw Valiant HP
• Costs 9k

Seems like BG is having a covid epidemic atm, 4 attempts so far for our initial appointment! I am hoping our install will be lower disrupt..  

As it is just getting the boiler out, fitting a hot water tank and pressure vessels. Install the heatpump. Runs for pipes and cable all outdoors. Simple electrics.. Perhaps replace one rad. 

We have not embarked in the survey phase, we are still working to get into sensible estimate territory. Some folk are asking for over £400 for a survey!

£300 is average as it takes half a day and travel.

Oh My, average installation is 15k inc Grant so £7500 to pay not 11.5-16.5 to pay.

Most of my radiators while working look rather tatty, some rads are single fin and makes sense to replace them 

• DOT of -2
• My boiler is on the wrong location, about 20 years old and making lots of funny noises 🙂
• I already have mains water in my loft, electrics, is fully boarded and easily accessible.

General work required:

• Remove boiler from spare room on 1st floor
• Remove old hot water tank from 1st floor landing
• Remove cold water talk from loft
• Install new hot water tank in loft
• Install heat pump All pipe work / electrical work

...

Heat geek 40* design temp

• 400% efficiency heating & hot water
• Replace no rads
• 200l Valiant pure tank 7kw HP (might be able to do a 5kw)
• Costs £7.5k

...

Here's the original estimate from Heat Geek:

• 10kw AroTherm heat pump
• 200l valiant pure tank
• up to 10 rad changes
• 400% efficiency
• Cost - All the options maxed out Estimated £8000, (the estimator tool actually went down recently to £7650)

Just wondering how you went in the end? A guaranteed 400% efficiency including hot water looked pretty good, did you have Heat Geek do the work?
