Replacement Kitchen Worksurface

aldredd

Hi there,

my brother, whilst looking after our house, has managed to damage our kitchen work surface - looks like he's tried to use bleach or something on it to clean it - not good.

I've told him its down to him to get is replaced, but trying to get an idea of cost of getting it replaced so I know what I'm in for if he doesn't sort it out (as we're looking to move soon, I need to get it done sooner rather than later!)

Does anyone know the approx costs involved in this (inc materials & labour?)

It's not a huge kitchen - there are 2x lengths of surface (each is 1 complete piece), with an electric hob on one length, and a sink on the other, joined together in the corner of the kitchen. It doesn't need to be a fancy work surface - the existing one is (I think) laminated chipboard. I'd even be happy enough going down B&Q and picking the work surface and getting someone to fit, if this is likely to work out cheaper!

thank you for any suggestions!

You need to ask the question to a kitchen fitter, he may have a supplier that can supply cheaper than you can buy.

The fitting is likely to be the same as the worktop cost, say £120 to £200. that's Northern prices by the way.


Don't let your brother's "mate in the trade" do it :eek::eek:;);)

Thanks for the quick reply!

No, I'm half tempted to get it done myself and send the bill, but I'm less likely to see the money off him that way!
We're in the South, but not quite as South as London, so will probably be upper band of £200?

Cheers!

I would suggest that the fitting (even down South - fo Cy's benefit ) should be in the region of £ 150.00. However, there will inevitably be soime em!!!!!!ance factor associated with doing the minimum of damage removing the old (particularly if tiles are involved) and so a budget in your mind of £ 200.00 for when you have three quotes to compare is probably appropriate.

My estimates have been adjusted across the board inline with your with your reprimands, ,

But to be honest, it's a days work for any kitchen fitter on his own, if he goes to get the tops????

£120 "up north".

Since all our blokes are "darn sarf" chasing big bucks I usually assume double, :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
