Standard combi gas boiler of 30kw are around £1200-2200 depending on features and brand etc. If its almost like for like, so not messing around with having to re-plumb the entire house, might have to go outside and sort out new flue installation. SE prices I can see a £1k for a days work, because SE
Unless you've got electrical supply, gas supply, need £5k of scaff to be able to fit a new flue then that price is £6-7k over priced.
Recently found out one of my neighbours was done for a similar amount for a boiler replacement. Ended up it was damn near like for like, same brand + model, just obviously the minimal amount of fresh pipework and a power flush. Except they didn't do an meaningful flush as their two biggest rads are still half full of sludge. They didn't seem phased that they had been basically scammed though*
