Home Improvement

We need to have some work done on the house I know this is DIY but wondered if anyone could give me any idea of the kind of price I should expect to pay for the following ( fitted, my husband wont do it)

a) Kitchen units and work tops - one corner unit, two single units , two of those half units and two double wall units. Not looking at expensive units , just ordinary but fitted.

b) a bathroom suite with a shower over and a shower sliding thing on top of the bath. Standard suite and pedestal basin and toilet ( low level) nothing fancy

c) fascias and guttering for a bungalow which is detached and had four sides.

d) two doors and double glazing in 7 windows. The windows are not small - 5 of them are 50 ins x about 84 ins ( I ran out of tape measure on a six foot tape and had to estimate the last few inches)

Thanks.

More details and sizes required. £750-1000 I'd estimate.

Again, more details, supply and fit, or just fit? What shower? £1000 would cover it if it is simple.Add in new pipework, electrics etc and it'd reach £1500.

£500-1500, depending on who does it, and size of fascia/soffit.

FK's. £3000-5000?

Speak to your local trading standards and see if they have a list of "trade safe" companies. Else ask for lots of quotes and see if people you know have recommendations.

B&Q have a free design service, which will price up everything. Just halve their fitting charge to get nearer to what a local man would charge..

This is not my experience, unless they fitting prices have gone up recently
