Electrical Quote and Plumbing Quote

igjac

Hi,

I've just had a quote for some work the needs doing in our kitchen, I hope you can give me your thoughts.

Electrical Work.

• 32amp cooker point put in kitchen (wired from cellar below kitchen - empty gap for fuse in fuse box)
• Light Switch moving to other side of door.
• Double socket to move a metre to the left on wall.
• Add 2 extra sockets on other wall, (next to an existing socket ring main)
• Add another socket 2 metres to left of above.
• Extend the electrical cable of our boiler below worktops.

note: we are going to plaster everything so no finishing is needed.

Plumbing/Gas Work.

• Plumb in sink 2 metres from combi-boiler in kitchen. (to our own sink and taps)
• Drill though outside wall and fit waste pipe down to existing drain.
• Attach dishwasher to waste pipe.
• Cut off water to old sink. (We will remove sink, etc.)
• Connect gas cooker.

Quoted price (not itemised on quotation) = £ 2180 inc. VAT


Seems rather high to me, we were a little shocked.

Any help/comments welcomed.

A days work for each trade so, very conservatively, each man will be on about £900.00 a day. I really dont know how some "tradesmen" sleep at night. Should be at least half of that estimate.
