Renovation/Remodel costs - massive quote

[Mem77]

Hi all, just bought a 1960s four bed house that needs some remodeling work. Let me list what's needed then give you our quote from the builder. Would love to hear what you think.

So:

Open up back of house, remove two walls, put in steels
Under floor heating to kitchen/diner
New flat roof on existing extension with roof lantern and sliding doors to garden - 5ft approx
New kitchen - mid range
Create utility room and office space
New windows -8
Log burner
Create new ensuite
Replace existing bathroom
New flooring throughout
Redecoration throughout including plastering
Rewire

House is 184sqm.

Only one quote so far for 110k plus VAT. That's way over the top isn't it?

Sounds quite a conservative estimate to me. I’d be surprised if you can finish within that budget.

We did a kitchen renovation for £130K and it was Howden’s kitchen. Nothing fancy.

Our quote was double what we expected and the final amount was considerably more.

Sounds about right, we've had some of these things done. Thank God my DH does most. He refitted our small (only) bathroom,6 years ago and that cost £5k. It's a bungalow,so not a massive amount of pipework

This thread is 18 months old. Prices have gone up since then.

Wish I'd noticed the original date!

Doesn't sound expensive to me. A friend spent 15k on downstairs flooring alone when she bought a newbuild. New kitchen and fitting easily 10k, bathroom another £7 and that's before all the big stuff.

Sounds very cheap to me but I am in London. I would have said twice that.

The OP posted well over a year ago.

I wonder if she got the work done.

I think it sounds expensive given you're replacing and not extending; I'm based in London.

I agree with PP saying get separate trades in to do some of that - electrician to rewire, window company to replace windows, plasterer to do the bits that only need plastering but no building work, roofer to replace flat roof, your flooring supplier to fit the flooring in areas outside of the kitchen/diner, etc. You might also save on VAT that way as your VAT on that quote will be over 20k!
