Hello, I am hoping for some good advice from fellow Mumsnetters as seem to have got in a bit of a pickle to say the least! Basically, we have asked a builder that we know to quote for re-wiring our two bedroom flat and doing a few other jobs. Namely putting doors/tops/shelves in a couple of alcoves, plumbing in a new wash basin and toilet in the bathroom/re-tiling the bathroom floor (1.5 sq meters), moving the kitchen plumbing to a different room (still outside wall same side) and laying a laminate floor in one of the rooms.
It has been really hard to pin him down on a price. He says £2500/3000 for re-wiring and £4000 labour costs for the rest. I will have to pay for all the materials. I think that this sounds really really excessive. I am ok about the re-wiring costs, but today when I queried the overall costs, he said that the electrician would need someone to help take of skirting boards/take up floor boards etc. Am I right in thinking that this labour cost should be included in the £2500/3000 re-wiring quote??
I guess I feel that he is taking advantage of us. Help please!!!
