Is this fair:
Small one bed flat in south London.
New kitchen - new units, appliances, tiling, lights and corian counter
New bathroom - new suite, underfloor heating, tiling and lights
Painting and varnishing throughout
Misc repairs to existing cupboards and lighting.
Updating door handles
Approximately £26k including VAT labour and materials.

It isnt possible to answer based on the info provided. A cheap bathroom suite costs £500. A more expensive set costs ,£2k, £3k plus.
I would suggest you seperate out cost of bathroom/kitchen items. Get job priced up again then get 3 quotes.
My guess is if you have not specified they will fill the flat with cheapest stuff possible (why wouldnt they). Plus i reckon you will pay a premium for using 1 firm. And if you source trades individually you can probably get most of them below VAT threshold and save yourself the £4k vat.0 -
You need more quotes. There isn't enough info for anyone to assist. How many units? Spec if bathroom suite, amount of tiling etc etc.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
