fix damp
new kitchen inc tile's
new bathroom but need floor concrete floor diging up as there is a leak beneath there and the pipe work needs sorting

kitchen is 10 square meters
bathroom is roughly 3m by 4m
boiler and central heating is ok

had a guy come out to look at it and he gave me a quote of £9.5k to do everything labour inc materials and certificates

    Rule of thumb get is 2 or 3 quotes and compare them, that way you might keep one eye in.
