Kitchen/Diner Refurb

longwolf3

Hi, we are looking to renovate our current kitchen and dining room to make a single space and then refit/refurb, in SW17 (Tooting).

The job includes the below list of work in an area approximately 15sqm. We've been quoted £17.5k for this, which seems steep as we're providing kitchen, new patio doors, flooring etc, so I'm assuming the majority of the cost is labour as there is little in the way of building materials from what I can see aside from steels, which should be less than £1k.

Any thoughts on whether this is a fair price for London?

Thank you.
