    Hi All,

    Looking from some seasoned professional advice...

    What should I expect to pay for labour only when fitting a new kitchen? Below is a list of jobs I need doing...
    • My kitchen is a bit smaller than 10ft x 10ft and I'm looking for a 'U' shaped layout.
    • Removal of current kitchen.
    • Knocking out of built in larder.
    • Re-wiring of electrics (I want a double socket in each corner, as well as a double socket about 3-4 foot from one corner. I currently have a double socket midway along one will, a triple socket midway along another wall and two single sockets mid way along a third wall).
    • Re-plastering of exposed brick work lowdown in the larder (is this necessary if cabinets are going to cover this brick work? I fear that the exposed brickwork is letting out heat).
    • Wiring of hob and oven (the oven position is being moved) to another wall.
    • Fitting of 6 wall cabinets (one will have to hide the boiler), 8 base cabinets (including integrated dishwasher and oven), 22ft of worktop with two mitre joins arranged in a 'U' shape plus fitting of 2 shelves.
    • Wall tiling/fixing splash-back across an approximate 5m squared area.
    • Painting of remaining exposed walls and ceiling.
    • Hanging of a new internal door.
    • Fitting laminate flooring. Approximately 9 square metres.
    I live on the outskirts of London within the M25 area (zone 5-6 on the tube map).

    Thanks very much!

    £3000 at say £250/day is 12 days...so ask yourself if that sounds reasonable. I'd say its in the ball park. May be less days at a higher day rate given its M25 area...10 days at £300/day...2 weeks work?
