House is a hipped detached bungalow. Asbestos tiles removal included.

Is this a good quote?

    Get two more quotes to the same spec and see where it stands.

    For the sums you're talking a mistake is costly.
  • Yes, i will get several other quotes thanks. Anyone else?
  • Check they are removing the asbestos tiles properly. You dont want that going wrong! See how they intend on disposing of them etc...

    Absolutley correct, and make sure you get a copy of the waste transfer notice from the contractor for the asbestos tiles.
  • Thanks! I realise the asbestos HAS to be disposed of correctly, and wont be cheap!

    here in the NW, its about 5k for an average terraced or semi.
    so your figure maybe not that far off if you live further south?
    Get some gorm.
  • I'm in Devon. I too am guessing it isnt a bad quote! We will see when i have the other.

    Thanks!
  • Hi there,

    I live in Wales & have been quoted various prices from 2400k, 3400K,3800k & 4000k to replace a real blue welsh slate tiled roof on a 3 bedroom semi detached house with small porch. I guess you can say the prices vary but which quote should I go for the cheapest, middlest or most expensive. Any suggestions. All seem really geniune people. Had some external work done 4 years ago where I replaced all walls with pebble dash, paid 4000k and now I have balled patches & plaster coming off. Don't really want to make the same mistake again.
