Kitchen quotation
Can anyone tell me if this is a fair quote for kitchen fitting and associated work? Its a large room, 9 metres by 2.5 metres and there are a lot of units to fit. Some of it looks very high to me but I could be wrong (eg the flooring and the plastering and fitting a couple of internal doors). I'm in London if that makes a…
