2 Bed flat rewire quote

A question about : 2 Bed flat rewire quote

Hi all,

I've recently bought my first place with my partner, and after one small job leading to another during our renovation we decided the next step would be to have a rewire before continuing on with anything else as the flat had old 1960's pyro cabling and couldn't have any extensions added to it so we'd need to have need rings added to solve this.

Anyway, the flat is based in south london and is a small 2 bed 1960's (solid concrete job) block.

New bathroom to be fitted, How many maximum days should it take ??

A question about : New bathroom to be fitted, How many maximum days should it take ??

If a new shower room is to be fitted, which is a small one (2 meters x 3 meters)

It is a small bathroom, which consists of a shower, tiled wall, tiled floor, loo, sink, ceiling to be replastered as well (ie small roof area). There is no tub, and everything new will be in the same position as before.

Then for a builder to rip out the old one (and everything, tiles, loo, basin, old shower trey etc) and for them to fit everything else new (after chosen)

A question about : Kitchen fitting (B&Q)

We are having our kitchen totally redone, it's a very small kitchen (2.4m x 1.4m). Quote from B&Q was Ј1500 for the units/appliances.. we thought this sounded ok - it includes integrated washing machine, electric oven, gas hob, hob chimney, new sink, taps, worktop, 8 units, and new flooring (we are keeping our existing fridge/freezer)

It's a big-ish kitchen but no wall space so no units!

A question about : It's a big-ish kitchen but no wall space so no units!

Hi all

After several quotes coming out at more than Ј12k for essentially just carcasses&doors (no worktops, no sink, no appliances, no fitting and no vat) I'm starting to think that I am after something rather unusual or excessive. Wickes recently surprised me (compared to the others, not compared to what I was expecting to pay for a kitchen!) with a price of Ј13k all in (with appliances), fitted

Here is the list of units:
