Carpentry Quote

I'm about to get the floor in my kitchen/diner boarded with ply before I get vinyl flooring put down.

The room is about 3m x 4m - does anyone have any idea how much I should pay for labour/materials?

Thanks in advance :)

    I think it may make a difference where in the UK you live. I live in London & just recently had a carpenter in for a week to do various jobs, including boarding the loft. It averaged out at about £250 per day.

    He bought most of the materials from Wickes, & provided me with the receipts, so there was no mark up on materials from him.

    Not sure if this is of any help to you.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    That's really helpful thanks - I don't live in London so am hoping he'll be a little cheaper. :)

    Am also thinking of getting my loft boarded - any advice?
