Quote for fitted wardrobes

A question about : Quote for fitted wardrobes

We have had a quote for fitted wardrobes from a local carpenter which seems very expensive to me, just wanted some feedback on what price I should expect to pay....

Wardrobe 1: 1m long, 2 doors (opening out, not sliding), combination of 2 rails and shelves inside. Ј1,100

Wardrobe 2: 1.2m long, 3 doors (opening out not sliding), combination of 2 rails and shelves inside. Ј1,300.

Both floor to ceiling, without a back, made of MDF which we will paint afterwards, shaker style doors.

Plastering and decorating quote

A question about : Plastering and decorating quote

Afternoon all, first post here...

I received the following quote for some plastering/painting work I need doing on an average sized 3 bedroom house:

Living room (through-lounge):
Plaster over artex ceiling (really two ceilings as it's a through-lounge).
Re-plaster remaining part of wall that separated front/rear receptions when through-lounge was created.
Paint walls/ceilings/woodwork (door and skirting boards).
Install wooden/laminate flooring (I will supply materials).

Carpet quote

A question about : Carpet quote

Hi,
I am in the process of getting quotes for carpet fitting and I had a question about standard practice.

I measured the rooms as being 50m2 but one of the firms came to measure and told me that I actually needed 60m2, due to the fact that there would be some wastage (because of standard roll width etc).

So, they have re-quoted me on the basis of 60m2.

Some electrical work

A question about : Some electrical work

Had a quote for Ј300 in South Wales for the following

Moving the light switches in the bedroom from behind the bedroom door to a more accessible place. This is one switch per bedroom 3 in total flush to the wall not trunking.

4 extra plug sockets(in total) in various rooms

Moving the light/extractor fan pull cord for the bathroom from the hallway to inside the bathroom.

No idea if this is fair as ive never had any electrical work done

Thanks
