Is this quote fair?

So our workmen took the £13k that we had been quoted for. They were quite stroppy with the outcome and stormed off. I've been doing some research and I think that we've been conned. I wrote them letter and this is part of it.... According to your website you give free quotes on the work to be done before the work is…

I have just been quoted to do some landscape demo work, and I'm a bit surprised at the cost. We have two beds with an arch in the middle, measuring 110cm wide and 7m long. One side of this bed has a low concrete edging (like…

I’m somewhat confused and can only conclude the quotes I’m getting for a roof recoding are somewhat egregious given the amount and hope the collective mind can clarify. It’s a roof recovering for a 3 bed semi in South London so has hips and my simplistic breakdown was: Skip = £1000 Scaffold = £1500 Tiles and sundries £4000…

I have been quote £800, £990 and £1250 to trim 2 feet off the top and tidy up the front and sides of my conifers as well as removal of the waste. 1 day 1 guy and the £1250 included scaffolding hire. The trees are 3 meters high and roughly 60 meters in length as it surrounds the property. This is in East Anglia

Good morning, I've a question for you and I hope you can help me. Last year our neighbour had their garden done. We could see it from our upstairs window and it looked nice. We chatted to the workmen about giving us a quote. They came around on Friday, unannounced and gave us a quote of 13000.They didn't confirm it in…

I've had just one slate slip down on a first story roof. The slate is still intact as sitting on top of the slate beneath it. What kind of cost should I expect from a roofer as I have someone coming this morning and would like to avoid being ripped off ideally.

have had a quote to for an experienced carpenter to build me 'built in' wardrobes that are floor to ceiling, wall to wall, so basically cover the complete wall of one side of the bedroom. He's making the doors himself, and it includes hanging rails in the large alcove and multiple shelving in the other alcove and across…

Hi, I'm buying a car from my soon-to-be-ex-husband. I've got full no claims bonus, no points on my licence, at the same address & my quote was £500 from the company it's currently insured with. My husband, about the same age, has had accidents & has points for speeding. His renewal is £325 - up £75 from last year. That's…

Good morning I have recently had a chap out from a local firm to quote me for a new boiler and replace a couple of radiators (existing rads are ancient- single panel without any fins and struggle to heat these two rooms in cold weather). The quote I have received this morning is: Removal of existing boiler to be replaced…

Your decking area measures approximately…

Normally when assessing a quotes I try to get three of them to compare, but my luck with local roofers this week has been abysmal. Of the five I contacted, three responded with interest and a promise to visit but only one turned up despite them all saying they would (and me waiting in for them). The one that did show…

Hi, we've only managed to get one quote so far which is as below. Trying to get more but struggling. Is this quote reasonable? The company come recommended. This also includes cutting out the already there window to fit the door and making good.

My son is looking to buy a house that has no central heating. Its a 2 Bed terrace house, he has been quoted about 15K to supply and install the same and re-plumb the kitchen and bathroom. Does this sound about right?

Hi All Anyone know what sort of price I will be looking at to replace 19 double glazed windows? Also any recommendations around the Camberley (Surrey) area of companies would be much appreciated. Thanks

This does not include fitting or flooring but does include a Samsung American style fridge freezer and an integrated…

Hi, I have been quoted £10k for a new kitchen from Howdens - this is not including appliances. I will attach a picture of the floorplan of my house, it is a galley kitchen so we were planning on knocking down the wall between the kitchen and living room and putting up an stud wall to create a smaller snug living room and a…

So this includes one structural survey, to find out what the walls are made of properly (ie : to find out what's best for the property) I've said I'm using the PassivHaus ethos but not necessarily going full PassivHaus given diminishing returns Is that quote fair? It seems quite a lot but I don't know if that's normal for…
