Alcove cupboards and shelving
Had a quote off someone who had been recommended by a friend for similar to the below picture. I asked how long it would take for the lot and he said 2/3 days. Now maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick, but surely all that would be less than £100 of MDF/materials which means he's taking £800 for 2/3 days work. BTW,…

Fibreglass flat roof

£5000 for a roof restoration (94 SQM)
Dear Moneysavers... we just bought a house nearly a year ago and had a survey done on it. It didn't point out anything about the roof but I'll admit it doesn't look that great. Anyway we had a company come over (cosy homes) and quoted us for a roof restoration. The facts: * Size: 94 squaremetres * Built in 1930,…

We want to move it about a foot (no change in height) so a new shower screen could go up against the wall. We would also get a new…
