New Kitchen fitting quote

Options

I've received the quote below to replace my existing kitchen. This is for fitting only. The layout and number of units will be similar to the existing kitchen, so no major rerouting of cables or pipes are involved. Probably the biggest extra work is in raising the lowered pine clad ceiling to its original height and plaster boarding and skimming. The kitchen is approximately  16m2, and they have estimated around 10 days to complete mainly due to the work required on the ceiling.
The price to fit your kitchen with a estimated 15 unit kitchen with laminate worktops is £4221 this includes as follows

Removing existing kitchen

Take down lowered ceiling

Frame new ceiling with 4 x 2 white wood posts

Plasterboard ceiling with 12.5mm plasterboard

Plaster ceiling

Supply and fit 12 LED down lights fire rated

Rectify problem with back wall

Level floor with plywood and self level cement then fully cover floor with 4mm plywood  for LVT flooring

Fit LVT flooring

Fit and supply new skirting boards

All plasterboard, plywood and timber posts are supplied by me

Fit all new units

Install under lights to wall units ( customer to supply)

Fit all décor panels to units

Fit worktops

Install gas hob with gas safe installer

Plumb in sink and dishwasher

Fit all new appliances

New power points are installed to appliances  

Alter any power points above worktop height if needed

This is the first quote I've had, so I would appreciate any views on if it looks reasonable.

    What is the problem with the back wall ?
    Is it an external solid brick wall with damp issues, or just an uneven/rough surface that needs tarting up ?

    4mm plywood as a base for LVT flooring..... hmmmmm... Check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend. Some suggest 6mm or thicker. Depending on the thickness of the plywood being used to level the floor, I would question the need for SLC and a second layer of plywood.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. It's an internal wall inside an alcove that seems to have had a thin false wall put up. When you press it, it  flexes and bends slightly, so I don't even think its boarded with plasterboard.  It isn't a large area, but until the false wall is removed we won't know what the issue is.
