Does this estimate sound reasonable?

[Stevel]

I live in a small three bed semi in south Kent, and have had a quote for some plumbing work, mainly:

Drain down CH system
To 'flip' a rad from one side of the room to the other (2m)
To connect two other wall-mounted rads to the existing CH (about 2-3m from existing pipes)
To run H and C down from loft, to airing cupboard, then under floorboards for new batheroom (floorspan about 6 metres), and provide pipes up for basin, bath and toilet.
All in copper piping.

£895 inc VAT

Any thoughts?

incl materials....not miles away from reasonable

 

[hav it]

[Stevel]

Bit cheap to be honest.

I think he is way under the price probably by at least £200 quid,can you please make sure you give this to him because he has not calculated his labour and materials correctly

3 days work @ £200 + materials - depends how much the rads are Must be turning over a fair bit to be vat registered Is he Gas Safe . cuz he don`t need to be for that job. =that`s why he`s not charging £ 250 + a day and isn`t frightened to get his hands dirty

WTF are you on about? He's moving an existing radiator and draining the system down. Why on earth does he need to be gassafe? Any pipesweater could do this.

as i said above

 

[kevindgas]

3 days work

why would he take 3 days? sounds like no more than 2 days to me!

I live in Southampton and i could probably still beat it even with fuel costs!
