I know this isn't DIY, but the subject was discussed in this thread six months or so back...
Got a guy in to quote for sanding and fixing up our floors - total 26 square metres. Floorboards are in good shape for 120 year old boards, but the quote includes replacing modern replacements with salvaged boards where two chimney breasts were taken out, maybe a dozen (max) new boards that need replacing elsewhere and replacing various damaged/split/badly cut ones.
He comes highly recommended by neighbours, has done loads of places on our street, filled us with confidence when he came round etc. He obviously really knows his stuff and local houses, and I don't doubt he'd do a great job. He's sent me pictures of his work which back that up too, but...
£2200 for 26m2. That's £85 per square metre! Is this not crazy high?
I know @cozey and @6pt both paid more like £35.
