I'm paying £1,600.00 labour only for stripping out a bathroom, floor to
ceiling tiling on all walls, floor tiling, fitting new suite and towel rad.

All except skimming the landing ceiling should be within normal
d-i-y skills (or do you say "home improvement"?). You will need a platform
or multi-purpose ladder and, probably, an assistant, to repaper your landing

Yes of course they are - but obviously the OP has decided for whatever
reason not to do the jobs themselves.

on the info here it sounds ok, possibly even on the cheap side. - best
way to judge reasonableness is to get some other quotes

It was just a gentle hint to the OP to ponder the nature of this
news group.

So we agree, this is not a matter for the NG, it's time to get more quotes.

And a perusal of threads would soon indicate a steady flow of those
which aren't about diy. In the absence of a better newsgroups to post
them to I have no problem with that.

Not quite, I'm happy for this to be discussed here if other feel they
have something to add

This is a DIY NG, so why don't you do it yourself

(with the possible exception of the skimming and chimney work)

For the same reason I asked a question yesterday about warm air heating
- with absolutely no DIY content at all, for the same reason someone
else posted regarding a house price/buying question - diy content? -
Just two examples.

This group has lots of people with a wide variety of experience is
'housey/construction' matters and as a rule they are happy to share that
without nitpicking over whether or not something is strictly on topic
for 'diy'. If there was another newsgroup to cover such things then
there would eb an argument for directing them elsewhere, seeing as AFAIK
there isn't then uk.d-i-y seems a good place for them

I see the two as being very different
