one flat with lots to do..........

[razorback]

1 bedroom apartment. Needs a full redec, walls, coving, ceiling, all woodwork. Needs a deep clean and completely degreased: everything.
The removal of a few items of heavy furniture and laminate flooring : and to top it off : carpet the lounge, bedroom and hall : grand total £887.94. I think thats a fair price; any views?

What's the 94p for?

Why so cheap?

 

[opps]

sounds way too cheap...

the total price is almost what i would charge to strip/line/paint one room to a high finish (in London).

Have you seen their work before?

Surely the laminate and carpet isn't included in this price?

Regardless, any bloke that works at these rates is no tradesman.

It is in Cleveland, so the workers are probably young children who are happy to take a break from going down pit and chiseling coal out with their teeth. And the carpet will be woven from the hair of poor people i.e. northerners.

I'm joking, or at least trying to. It does sound cheap.

It is a small apartment
lounge 19ft x 10ft
bedroom 19ft x 7ft
hallway is a box!!
The laminate flooring was badly fitted anyway, and in parts it can be just ripped up, no problem at all. Everything will be binned so in terms of labour, probably a few hours.
Degrease kitchen, which shouldn't take long.
The colour scheme is awful, almost nicotine colour; but I like the polycell undercoat, then a contract matt magnolia finish. all woodwork prepd with an acrylic primer then a gloss finish...4 doors
cheap beige type colour carpet @ £3 sq m. If memory serves me correctly about £125 to buy. Believe it or not all carpet grippers, underlay and sonic all still in situ!!

I think it's reasonable price!!!
