We need a lintel raised in a chimney breast to fit an extractor in, walls all need skimming, and the ceiling needs batten and boarding. Tiles on the floor that all need to come up as well so theres a scrim that needs to go down. YMMV.
If I could take a few weeks off work, I feel like I could make a pretty decent dent in the work excl. gas and electrics. Quote mentions 7-10 days so he values the work day rate at over a grand a day incl his markup.
Hmmm - does seem reasonably high but do you say there is building work involved too - is that a reasonable amount or quite straightforward?
Makes me nervous as I need to get quotes soon for London so expect that to be worse still!
