Builder's Quote - is it a good deal?
Hi guys,
I've recently got a quote from a local builder for the following:
-Boarding up a hole in a partition wall
-Installing 10 spotlights
-Installing a staircase balustrade (+ supplying spindles, a handrail, etc.)
-Sanding down Artex ceiling in one room (7 m x 3 m), plastering over
-Installing 2 curtain rails
-Moving the position of two power plugs
-Replacing two light switches
-Supplying and replacing a back kitchen door
-Removal of all renovation-related rubbish
This has come to just over £3000 and I was wondering if it's a good deal. What do you think?
My area is Surrey.
Thanks!

....but watch how quickley those cheap spotlights blow a bulb and how far apart the bannisters are, I reckon the break down should be:
joinery including materials and door furniture : £950
Plastering including preperation: £250
Electricals including sockets and wiring materials but not spots (2 days work): £400
tidy up and rubbish removal incl small skip : £200

Thanks everyone, it's much appreciated.
dothawkes31 - The guy owns a building/construction company and yes he would send an electrician and a carpenter to do the work, so there will be a fair few people working on various jobs.
The duration of all projects shouldn't take longer than 3-4 days, we are told.
Zacsmaster - a useful breakdown, many thanks.
