Wow!!


Has he given any indication on time? I would suggest three days work. So he's charging £400/day for labour.


Bath panel could be £50 - £100 depending on type. Adhesive and grout - under £10, paint half of that and what rubbish is he taking away? A bath panel?

I hear good things about a company called Hometech-UK

My brother used them about 2 years for a similar problem and they quoted I think probably half that.

I echo that you need to get another quote or even 2. There is a multi skilled self employed guy I use & he charges £160 per day plus materials at cost & puts in a good 9hr day.

This is in a suburb of London. This is the sort of worker you could do with, somebody who isn't going to rip you off with extremely high labour charges. Have you asked around friends, family, neighbours etc to see if anybody can recommend a suitable person to you?

I can guarantee for one company that can do the rubbish removal for you. They come in time and do the job without any issue. You can find the prices here: benandjerry.org.uk/prices/
