Help needed redry rot.
We've got dry rot under our stairs.
A company has been round and told us that all the floorboards in hall will need replacing with treated floorboards. Plaster will need replacing to height of 1 metre (up to Dado rail) by 3 metres wide. Two air bricks will need installing. The quote has come in at £3000 for a weeks work. This seems fairly expensive considering the quote effectively covers 1) what the cost of floorboards are (hallway measures 2 metres by 6) 2) 2 people for 2 days to lay floorboards 3) install 2 airbricks (cover one exisitng air brick which is level with pavement outside (this is where water has been coming into the house) 4) the cost of a plasterer for a day and his material. 5) treating all new wood with dry rot prevention chemicals 6) finsihing work Can anyone recommend any companies in North Manchester/Bury area which deal in this type of work?
