Have you used a combo boiler in a 4 bed house that has two showers and is likely to have 2 adults and who knows maybe 2 to 3 kids in the future?Alkers86 is absolutely right, a combi boiler will do a great job.
Meaning, the only negative I can possibly see on the combo boiler is half the family showering before work at the same time. I read that combo boilers are not good if you want to have two sources of hot water at the same time. Any insight into these views?
No is the direct answer, we only have one shower - that's why I asked about how big your house is and how many showers you have.Have you used a combo boiler in a 4 bed house that has two showers and is likely to have 2 adults and who knows maybe 2 to 3 kids in the future?

Most new installations choosing combi boilers would skip the cold storage tank.Re: the above, I don't think mains pressure is a big issue for combi boilers, ours is terrible. We got around this by greatly increasing the cold water storage in the attic, which feeds the combi boiler via a pump.
Really difficult to offer an opinion without knowing details of the radiators (number, size, and quality - a 'cheap' radiator is about half the price of a good one), and where all the pipes are running. Do you have concrete floors downstairs that he has to jackhammer tracks to run pipes? Is he making good the floors / walls after putting in new pipes?comments on whether the price seems reasonable
Is it 2 zones plus hot water separate?Hive thermostat system two zonal

Yes it includes pump to power showers.You will most likely use the boiler to deliver your hot water but if you need to use the immersion, you might consider night rate electricity and a timer.
Is the quote including a pump to power the showers? Perhaps I misunderstood.

Overall, it doesn't seem unreasonable.
You don't mention a grant? I'm assuming it's eligible, but check. Not all plumbers are registered to apply for grants. Also double check if the quote is before or after the grant. Some people get a shock when they realise the supplier quote was for them to get the grant money.
For your overall budget, add in the costs of first time gas connection, but I don't think they're much in the context of what you're doing.
