Yup fair enough!
I've been quoted £2500 incl materials for replacing 30 m^2 of floorboards. Is that about reasonable? I've not got a feel for this, but if it includes VAT and includes oiling or whatever finishing product, it seems ok. To be fair, most other contractors I've spoken to haven't been willing to quote as they're too busy. It feels a bit rash not having a comparative quote, but I can't wait very long so I've probably painted myself into the corner...
If there’s a discount, your chippy will be putting it in his pocket. Plus he’s probably already got a better rate and will be paying cash but charging you the VAT.
That’s life.
