The point here is, should the work I've described take that long given
that floorboards are already up etc., etc., etc., or is he ripping me
off for this extra work?

If the work was done correctly, the signal cables will have been kept
separate from any mains wiring involving creating new runs.

Fair enough Dave, I can understand that. But if we allocate a full 8-hour
working day to running the cables for the heat/smoke alarms, that still
leaves 3 8-hour days to fit 12 back boxes and run a cable from each to a
central point under the stairs?

BTW, I know he uses an electric wall chaser and he has box sinker
attachments for his SDS drill so it's not like he's having to do these
things with a lump hammer and bolster.
