Is this budget fair?

We're having some work done in Bedfordshire on a two bedroom plus boxroom detached 1930s house. We've budgeted 15k for the following:

1. Total rewiring, addition of spotlights in three rooms, dimmer switches in three others, about 9 additional sockets (10 existing),

2. Four new radiators, three of which need minor re-siting (c. 50cm).

3. Remedial plastering through house (plaster isn't in an awful condition but we want a very smooth surface for painting), damp resistant plaster in one room.

4. Removal of chimney stack to below roof level.

5. New skirting boards throughout the house

6. Complete re-fitting of 7ft x 5ft bathroom.

7. Plumbing of washing machine.

8. Fitting of curtain tracks in five rooms (including 4 bays).

9. Removal of old bathroom and fitting of new: loo, bath with shower over, heated towel rail, sink, cupboard, blind, part tiled and ceramic tiled flooring, some remedial plaster work, roller blind. Want good quality bathroom suite with cast iron bath (not roll top).

I have no idea what spec of work this might get us (particularly re the bathroom).... we're having someone project manage the work (have extra budget for this) and he wants some idea on budget! We have contingency, but any of this will eat into our dream-extension savings pot.

Many thanks in advance! Sorry for being such a novice! If anyone can let me know what comparable part jobs cost that'd be really helpful!

Shameless bump!

your plastering could be from £300 to £2000. Depends how much you want done, if you want it all perfectly flat, in everyroom, after the re wire/sockets etc then your looking at a guess of £2000 including all materials, maybe less. if its a few walls and a few ceilings the maybe 4 -5 hundred?
