Guess how much?

[speccy]

OK you've just had these 3 wardrobe doors fitted to an existing cupboard in the hallway, 3 doors 520mm x 2200mm each basic framework for the 3 doors. Each door hanging off 4x standard soft close cupboard hinges. Doors finished in white radius or bull nose finish all round, no handles supplied. Fitted in 3hours by 2 men.

You get the bill through how much do you expect?

I'd probably expect it to be whatever price I'd agreed for the job...

Too smart for me "two steves". Maybe that's your combined input there, I'll forgive you . Ok say it wasnt you it was your elderly parents..

OK Mr Notch you are the closest so far.

They invoiced 1120. (where the extra 20pounds came from i don't know)

Personally i was expecting about 700 pounds as they really are nothing fancy nor is the wobbly frame they put in. I know these doors supplied to me non trade are about 100each so that's 300 plus materials say 50quid. That's 750 for two men for less than half a day each, if that was me paying i would feel violated or at least checked my back passage after.

Haven’t read the rest of the post but maybe around £1120?

So, £300 labour, plus £300 materials, plus the mystery ****take of £600, so £1200.
Sounds about right.

This is why I started DIY - everbody charges so much these days. I don't mind paying a professional a sensible hourly rate or day rate + materials, but everybody quotes something that is way beyond sensible these days. Unless £100 a hour is considered fair for somebody to break concrete or hang a door.

my guesstimate was £150 per door, £150 frame and hinges
labour full day for 2 people £200 x 2

i suppose vat could be on top

£700 is probably a fair price really. £1120 is too much
