Yep that’s the whole deal. Was told it would take 2-3 days.

I’m near Crawley, Just had a 4th quote for 30m2 and again £4500 so £150 psqm for amtico form supply and fit seems like the going price around here. I’m quite tempted to just buy some off the shelf stuff at wickes (£20-£30 psqm) and lay it myself just worried it will look **** in 3-5 years and...

Another quote just came in which included my hallway so now approx 30m2, £4800. Or £158 pm2 again clear floor area, seems mad! Might have to go for a click laminate I lay myself in 2 days for £14 pm2 (£500 total.)

Well the reply I got was from a surveyor.

Reply form building control: “We have based our fee on the lowest possible cost of works (0 - £5000) which attracts the fee of £369.00 under a building notice therefore there is unfortunately no reduction in fees available.” Go figure.

Thanks Woody, The guy doing it owns a reputable local window installers. He said I would need building control, Strangely they quoted him £268 ++(£321.60). He said normally for him to put it in he would charge an extra £100 admin fee. So I said I would do it. Seems like they just take a...

Thanks I’ve emailed them back asking why so much to widen a window by 100mm.

I’m removing doorway and installing a window in its place Window is slightly wider so will install a new lintel. Building control want £370 just to review my application. 3 builders have said don’t bother just do it but 1 said I need to do it. Thoughts? I’m worried they will come back...

Second quote form a flooring company supply only (amico form) £1300. Fitted £3700. So £2400 for fitting I estimated at 25sq so for herringbone £96 psqm including all adhesive etc.

Still waiting on other quotes. Definitely fit only. I’ve questioned why so high can’t think it would take more than a Few days to lay. I appreciate herringbone is more work involved ‍♂️

Was looking at amtico but the quote was only fitting. Floor will be cleared solid base. (Won’t know for sure until carpet is up and tiles removed, might need some self levelling), freshly plastered no skirting, clear room.

Just got a quote for a rectangle room 21sqm to lay vital flooring. £2250 plus vat so that’s around £128 per sq m. That’s labour only in a herringbone fit. Surely that can’t be right, getting other quotes in but was expecting 2-3 days work maybe £900 total ?

Thanks, why is losing the solider course hard work?

I am planning to take out a rear back door and widen it by 1/3 and put in a window. (Bricked up below). I’ve had various people comment to me I “may” need buildings regs as it’s structural. Some say it will be fine take a photo of the new lintel etc? Obviously don’t want to spend a fortune on...

Can I just drill the lock out in the middle? Where would I run a multi tool?

Anyone know how to get into this door? I’ve just moved in and there is no key. Doesn’t look like it’s been opened for a while. Happy to break the lock as will replace soon anyway. Thanks

Yep I think that’s what happened, it’s a friend of my daughters that said he can do it but I think he’s just subbing it and taking a slice. Ive fitted 5 bathroom in my time, no leaks or issues but I’m rammed for time but if I have to do it myself I guess I’ll have to. I’m moving in next Friday...

Looking at 600x600 tiles. Waiting on an updated quote I told him 25sqm should £1000 plus half day for 1st fix £150. 2nd fix two days £500. I’ll round to £2k as I’m in a rush.

Ripped my bath out. Quote for refit (labour only) including 1st fix (minor reposition of 2x22mm bath. 3 x 15mm basin/wc. Plus waste). WC same position. Floor/ceiling tile. 2nd fix bath/basin/vanity/wc/shower(in bath). Including Elec UFH. All fitting provided including tiles/ground/adhesive...

Bit of a vague one but have a go please. Rough cost to skim a 3 bed 1000 sqft semi? Got a quote for £5000k said would take 6-7 days Seem fair?
