Conservatory Quote

The_Palmist

Hi Guys,

Just had a quote from Coral.

3m x 4.2m All glass Edwardian, Glass Argon filled roof.
With Electric Heater and Power Points

The quote I have been given is 12,450 + £680 for laminate flooring.

I have asked couple of other local companies to come around as well.

Any comments on this quote will be useful.

much thanks

The flooring sounds expensive, can you not have that sourced and fitted yourself? you could get decent tiles for that price.

Where in the country are you? my in-laws just had a 4 by 4m conservatory built from the ground up and it cost a around £15k so yours doesn't sound too unreasonable although I would still get a couple more quotes for comparison.

Thanks, I will probably get carpets from local supplier/fitter.
I am in West Yorkshire area.
Have used Coral before for doors and windows last year, their quotes were way more than locals but I went with them for peace of mind.

You're nuts paying this don't do it.

Go on Ebay take a look at the second hand ones on there where people are flogging their old conservatory for silly money as they need rid of them.

You'll get excellent quality some 20k plus ones on there going for between 1.5k and 3k tops.

I've been in the building trade years and I know the company in question will me making around 7k off you for what they say is the best quality when in theory sell is a sell.

A builder will do your base and could put your conservatory up for 2k excluding materials and after buying a decent one off ebay for 3k tops which will get you a really decent one too and a lot bigger you'll save 6k...easy a sparky won't cost no more then £200.

£680 for laminate flooring in a 4x3 conservatory oh my god.

Appreciate it mate but you have to realise taking the ebay route is just not for everyone. It comes naturally to you because of your experience but I wouldn't be able to figure out right for wrong and I have no contacts either. I have been so disappointed with local people, called a few sparkies, blinds fitter and builders but half of them didn't even turn up and those who did appear very untrustworthy.
I am waiting for couple of local companies to call me back with their quotes.
I may get floor done separately.
I had doors and windows done by Coral and while they did charge me a lot more than others, I cannot fault their work.

Coral offering to do it for 12,000 now and also offering.69% finance deal.
In the meantime, we had two local guys and both quotedaround £12,500
We are trying to find some other local companies but can’tseem to find any local semi decent company.
We are in Brighouse if that helps.

Another quote I received is for 15500...they are all making coral look cheap
