Been quoted around £10k for the following work for a 2bedroom flat;

- plastering of 3 ceilings
- plastering of 1 wall
- complete rewiring
- hard wood installation (including materials)
- painting
- moving 2 radiators and re-routing pipes
- reskirting (as they are used to cover the pipes)

Thanks!

  • more detail is needed into size & location of property and cost of materials used. Seems pretty dear for a standard 2 bedroom flat though.

    detail, detail, detail......

    To give you an analogy, what you've asked is similar to the following:-

    I've been quoted for a new car, it's £50,000 is that reasonable?

    Well, that depends, if it's Bentley it's a bargain, if it's a Hyundai you're getting your pants pulled down.

    If you want a sensible answer we need a full breakdown of the works, quote, full details of materials and the quality of finsih you are expecting to pay for.
