Quote for carpenter to install two built in wardrobes

minibbb

Following my successful bannister install I've asked my carpenter to quote for installing two built in wardrobes in the two alcoves of one of our bedrooms.

One alcove is four feet wide so he'll use two 2 foot four panel interior doors on this one and then chop down two six panel doors to make small cupboards above.

The other alcove is smaller so he'll use a 2'9 door and then a portion of a six panel door for a cupboard above. Both are full length wardrobes and he wil fit some shelving inside once I decide the final layout. The doors are the hollow howdens jobs so not super heavy duty but fine IMO for a wardrobe.

He's quoting £640 for both all in, reckon this sounds about right?

Has he given you any idea of how long the job will take? I ask only because the guy I've been using to do a lot of the refurbishment work on my new home has a charge of £150 per day labour charge & materials at cost, although I do pay him a bit extra as I feel he is worth every penny.

He is multi-skilled & built wardrobes for me in both my current & previous homes. I can't quite remember how long he took to do the recent installation of wardrobes for me, which are wall to wall & included a fully fitted interior to my specifications, but think it was approx 3 days. It was definitely no longer than that.

Many thanks for the reply! He's not said how long it'll take but I would think at least a couple of days, I think he charges £120 per day labour. He's coming over again today to do the final measure up so ill clarify with him!

Could I ask how much you paid to have the bannisters replaced? Thanks

Was £250 fitted in a small terraced house, 12 spindles worth over 13 stairs so not a huge run!
