in Is this quote fair?
What can I expect to pay for someone to fit 3 long length worktops, kitchen sink and put up a wine rack?
I will be buying the items, just need someone (oddjobber maybe??) to fit them.
Any advice on where to find someone to do a small job like this?
I live in London.
Thanks

    However, in the real world you need a carpenter and a plumber - not an odd job man. So, in the order of £300 plus parts.
