Repair cost

Hi 
Had a quote to repair this

for the best part of 3 grand, I  understand that it's a messy job but is it fair?

It includes rebuilding the wall and removing  the plant

Kindly

    I would say that £3K might be a fair price to rebuild the wall, providing the bricklayer is good. Have you seen other examples of their work? 

    It's not clear whether the wall is forming part of a habitable room. If it is, does the work involve building and inner leaf as well, and/or installing insulation in the cavity? Is the job being done properly, e.g. are sufficient wall ties being installed. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
