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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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)

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
