Kitchens.

Is there something I'm subconsciously doing in front of people quoting for our kitchen (supply and fit) that's making them (mistakenly) think I'm rich?

First quote - guy suggests on the phone 4k, on the day 6k, quote comes through 9k.

Second quote - guy suggests on the phone 4k, suggests on the day 6.5k, quote comes through 12.5k.

Third quote has yet to arrive.

Neither includes tiles and paint. Both include US doing the labour to strip it and removal of waste.

It's a fucking tiny kitchen, we're not asking for flashy appliances or work surfaces. No wall units and just a few on the ground. 3 x appliances (cooker, half size dishwasher, washer/dryer).
