Ideally, I would like to remove this chimney breast from both floors but depending on how much extra it would cost, I may just go for the ground floor only since the first floor one will be inside a fitted wardrobe.
I have received a quote for £4600 to do both floors and £3400 to do the ground floor only. These prices include everything from start to finish such as the building application, skips, plastering etc.
Firstly, are these reasonable quotes for the work or can I do much better?
Secondly (most importantly!), what do you think the absolute minimum I could have it done for if I got someone in to just remove the bricks and secure the remaining breast? I will then fill in the floor(s) and replaster.
I know this is something you can't mess about with but I'm really trying to budget since I've got a lot of other expenditures. Removing the ground floor breast especially will make a big difference to my plans.
Thanks very much and hope you can help.
