Quote for dining room & hallway refurb

Farel01

Hi lovely people!

Part a million in the saga that is refurbing my house. But the end is in sight, yay! Really the last big things I'm doing is the dining room and the hallway. I have gotten 3 quotes at 6K,4.2K and 3.6K. The most expensive quote is from a reputable company, but I found the guy who came round to be very gruff and a little unpleasant, however he did provide quote next day whilst I had to wait longer on the other ones. The second one at 4.2K is still missing about £600 of skimming so let's call it 5K, this guy was very friendly and was very in sync with what I wanted. The cheapest quote was from a reputable company and the guy was young, but pleasant. I really want to go with the second company as it's the comfortable middle and I had a good feeling, but is this quote fair?

What LED Lights are you getting 4 for £100 ?

somethingcorporate

We've had a lot of LEDs fitted recently, the best price has been about £36 for the materials each - works out about £55-60 each once labour is factored in.

Sorry I cannot comment on the rest, except if you didn't like the first guy don't go with them. a) too expensive and b) gruff when it comes to sales, what would they be like if you had problems??
