How much for all this??

Jet

I've been to look at a potential house to buy today.

I liked it but it needs a lot of work and whilst I can decorate, it would need a lot more than a lick of paint. :rolleyes:

I'm wondering if you can give me a rough idea how much it would cost to get tradesman and materials in to do the following to a 2 up 2 down victorian semi.

New windows, re plaster throughout, new kitchen and bathroom, pave small outside front garden.

Bathroom would be new bathroom suite and shower cubicle, tile, fittings, new flooring. Bathrom is about 8 foot by 12 foot.

Kitchen would be new kitchen units, tile and new flooring. Kitchen is about 10 foot by 5 foot.

There is also a lean to area, which would probably need to be demolished as it looks like a death trap.

Can help on some of your items
Have renovated little Victorian house in Surrey and big house in Suffolk.... ie different prices depending on location.

Bathroom - recent wet room (no bath) £2000 inc.tiles, shower, basin, loo, labour, underfloor heating. Previous bathroom in Surrey £1000 for fitting and supplying suite and fitting tiles I supplied.

Current plastering - have spent £1400 - hall, lounge, kitchen, 2 bedrooms ceilings underboarded and skimmed, kitchen, hall and lounge walls skimmed. ps hall is LONG!

Kitchen we bought freestanding units from Habitat, ikea do them also, about £3k for large kitchen - and ours if we move. Solid beech. Got carpenter to make units for the odd spaces for approx£400 extra. My tiler was pricey on hindsight at £20 a square metre inc. grout etc but hey he was recommended , quick and effiicient. Every Victorian house I have owned (OK only 2 of them!) has needed damp work of approx £1000 too. HTH Jo

If it needs all that, you can almost guarantee it will need rewiring as well.

I just had a rewire (well, June) for a two up, two down mid-terrace and that was £1800 in the north east - I had quotes ranging from £1600 - £3000!

Pricey!!!, At that price I would have given him breakfast and lunch, made sure he didnt leave the house all day, just incase he never came back.lol
