    It's hard to comment on your quote without knowing the size and current condition of your flat. I am also in South East and in the process of renovating 2 flat. Here are the quote I have for:

    Full Rewire: £3600 - £4300
    The quote depends on your flat layout, how easy/hard it is to run the cable and chase the wall. How are you changing the lighting cables...etc.

    New Kitchen: £1400 - £2000 labour
    New Bathroom: £1800 - £2200 labour
    The labour costs regarding above 2 areas depend on complexity of plumbing and electrical requirement. some old pipe may be tricky replace, you may need to replaster...etc

    plastering of whole flat's ceiling, make good of kitchen wall, bathroom wall, rewire holes ceiling. £1600 - £2000 labour.

    The builders I approached charges £250-£300 per day. Perhaps you can do the calculation yourself and work out how long it'd take and how much it'd cost. All price I mentioned include VAT.
