Is this quote fair?

Does £2900+vat sound about right for a structural engineer to make a site visit and draw up specifications for structure and foundations of a 2 storey extention following architects plans. Thank you

We have been quoted £700 to repoint this wall (approx 6 ft x 8 ft) - Wirral. Is that reasonable. 

I’ve just received a quote from a well-established roofer that I round on Checkatrade. He has almost 100 reviews with a very high rating. I have to say, the quote really took me by surprise - £3k is much more than I was expecting! We were hoping to get another quote from a different Checkatrade roofer on the same day, but…

Received the following quote: • Supply Jet Vacuumation Unit for a desludge/ cleanout £ 682.00 • Waste Disposal at a licensed site £ 333.75 • Provision for field service engineer to assist with cleanout, provide access and service the station £ 392.00 Total Price (Excl VAT) £ 1,407.75 £1,400 + VAT seems extortionate but…

Walls stripped and painted New skirting and flooring installed 2 radiators replaced Light switch and 2 plug sockets replaced. Internal wardrobe stripped, walls made good and new drawers…

Hi, I got a guy to the door the other day and mentioned something about Scottish government doing discounts etc. on ten year old windows in order to improve energy efficiency. I realise now that is all a load of bumph but thought I would see if the quote is completely out there. We are replacing 5 normal windows with…

Hi folks just looking to see what sort of range I should be looking at for the following job. Around 5 years ago we had bathroom done and in hindsight it was probably way too cheap, had endless niggles since and wanting to get it done again... Based in Nottinghamshire location wise.. So the bathroom is roughly 2mx2m, a…

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.

Moved into a large 4 bed bungalow Feb 2021. Original build early 1970s, extended 1990s & some reconfigured 2015. Large tiled kitchen diner. Bathroom & 2 en-suites tiled, rest is carpeted, solid concrete floors. Old boiler soon developed several faults & CH engineer commented that pressure was low. Boiler replaced Sept…

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…

hi and thanks for reading. i had a quote about 2 months ago for a new decking it was a fairly big company and they quoted 5800, i had a guy come round yesterday and hes just emailed me a quote for £1650 plus (£200 for waste removal but he said thats a rough guide.) the quote says. 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.
