  • Phil, you have a cracking price there my friend, i would bite his arm off if i we're you (well maybe not, as he has to plaster for you), but that is a really good price.
  • Sounds like a good deal to me, assuming his work is up to scratch.
  • Way too cheap. Somethings wrong there.
  • Not necessarily no, the guy may not have alot of work on etc..... not every cheap quote is done by a cowboy.

    But if there is any doubt, get a couple of references to be sure.

    Yep Job now done! He is just popping back tonight to put a bit of Architrave back around one door where he boxed some pipes in, up the hall way wall. We have always got him on a day rate of £130 + materials. Got him 3 other jobs from other people while he was there so I think he dropped it down to his £120 a day for us. He has never advertises always gets work through word of mouth and has loads of work on.

    To be fair he offered us a day rate on the first job as we had a few jobs to do. I don't think he offers a day rate to everyone.
