I have read that a quote for the above is less likely to be or can't be increased in price whereas the estimate is just that and can go up in price, thanks
Bathroom refurbs have to be estimated rather than quoted because one cannot see what has been hidden behind baths, toilets, boxing, walls or below floors.
Last one I did had to have all the walls hacked off back to brick and re coated in sand and cement as they were previously done with bonding coat. This is not correct for exterior walls and it came off in great slabs when tiles were removed.
Unless you are the govt,,where they have no problem going from original £1b to £10b with a job.Professionally written quotations should really list a fixed price that include elements that are provisional sums.
Or for say a boiler, a quoted price, but with terms that states unknowns may be charged.
Indeed.has to be some give and take.
