A question about : Quote from Andura Guard for rendering/pointing

Hi,

Hoping someone on here can help, We had a rep from Andura Guard come and quote for exterior rendering / brickwork.
Apparently Andura Guard is a revolutionary protection system applied to rendering and brickwork bla bla bla....

Basically we have been left with the specification which reads:

A question about : Cost of new bathroom installation

Hi, I am having a new bathroom suite installed and I have a quote for the work. Basically, the quote is for ripping out the existing tiles and bath/toilet/sink and installing a new 3pc bathroom suite, tiling the floor and part of the wall and repainting the whole area.

A question about : Fair day rate for a plumber

As the title says, based on recent quotes (say last 6 months), what the current day rate for a decent (well qualified and experienced plumber) doing a good 8+ hour day. Specifically in the Midlands area.

A question about : Loft Conversion Cost....

I'm considering having my loft converted to give us more space should we choose to have another child.

My house is a traditional mid-terraced house which originally would have been a 'two up two down' but has the typical rear extension for the bathroom and kitchen from the 40s.

When I had it re-roofed I had a velux window put in on the south facing side. What sort of price should I be expected to pay to have the loft completely renovated into a 3rd bedroom?

A question about : House needs lots of work

DH and I are in the wonderful position of his parents giving us his inheritance early so we can get on the property ladder (without a mortgage). We have had an offer accepted on a 4-bed stone built property which last had work done to it in the 70s (downstairs loo is green, upstairs bathroom is pink, there's a blue basin in the master bedroom; there's a back boiler for heating; it needs a rewire and the kitchen is literally a single unit and a free standing cooker).

A question about : Put gas connection in

We have a gas boiler and we need a connection to put a gas oven in.
He said Ј200 for labour and Ј30 for parts is that fair? We live in South London.

A question about : 5ft x 5ft steel fence and a gate

Hi All,

No idea what I should be paying but I'm having a 5ft x 5ft steel fence and a gate installed at my house to seperate the drive from the garden. I've been quoted Ј610 and that includes delivery, installation and labour, does that sound reasonable?

A question about : Skimming (and painting)

Please let me know your opinions:

Skimming up to picture rail (approx 2m) nothing above. Double bedroom. One side needs 70 cm high because it's just window. He won't remove radiator (not sure why) on other side.

Then, paint the lot, all plaster, picture rail, skirting, door.

He's a mate, has done good work, but quoted Ј800.

I think that's massive.
