    I think the operative statement in the OP was "ooooo, well my chippies could do that in a day and half". Suggests there was more than one woodbutcher to fit the units etc.
    I have just quoted a rip out, supply and fit, 8 base, 10 wall, w/tops. oven, hob sink and extractor and tiling etc for £3000. Units, C&L from B&Q. I'd only make about £800 for the work and customer still wants it cheaper. (Spark to install oven and hob but I'll do the plumbing in of the sink)
    Much more of this and I'll be working for FA

    Its hard to say your to cheap. It depends where you are in the uk. Im outside east london and havent had to drop prices luckily. But I never mfit a kitchen on a day rate anyway. Im sure you give some sort of guarentee. Things like this need to be included.
    My price would come in over 550 just for fitting the units so if you were near me you would be way underpriced

    Price is OK. If you think its OK too then don't budge. There is ALWAYS someone cheaper- often nastier too. ;)

  9. There is a saying that goes "The quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten" so if he wants a cheap job, let him get someone cheep!!!
