Quote for residential plumbing renovation project in London

[Bettyboo]

Hi
I am looking to put an offer in on a 2 up 2 down victorian terrace with kitchen and bathroom at back. It has a basci combi boiler and rads in each room but also some odd looking redundant pipe work (see pics)
Please can you give me an estimate for a new bathroom, downstairs loo, new boiler and possibly any extra pipe and replacement rads.
Will also be looking to put new kitchen in
Thanks alot
Betty

go and get some local guys in to quote, what you are asking is far to variable to quote\estimate on here

 

[hammers4spanner]

depends what part of country you are in as could vary massively to be honest

 

[hammers4spanner]

haha sorry just saw london ,,,,,doh!!!!!

 

[lame plumber]

in more variable if you consider romanian or pimlico and all those inbetween

 

[dontknowitall]

Depends what part of London :smile:

 

[Bettyboo]

I know it is hard to estimate but any London guys able to give me an idea please...have to put in offer tomorrow ! Thanks

20-25k

 

[Dotty]

And that's a really rough guesstimate.....

 

[Rickster123]

I'd do it for a pound less than croppies best price!

bit late for quotes if your offering on it in 12 hours, you might be getting ripped off soon!!! croppie was only quoting on the kitchen!

Ripped off? the whole London property market is a rip off, as for the 20 -25k I think this is a little on the high side!

 

[lame plumber]

if you havent got anyone lined up to do the work now then you better not start making offers as you may well end up paying stupid money to get it done, renovation work requires planing and project management to work to a budget, it isnt easy despite sarah beenie and her programmes saying it is.

Why ask then? I actually think that was conservative!

Especially considering no one's seen the job.......

It will be somewhere between more than you want to pay and less than a reputable company would do it for. As said, these sort of things take planning and not just a simple case of going in blind on a forum asking for a number.

where in london is it

Hard one to call but I'd expect to pay anywhere between 3-5k really does depend on what you want

Reread the op and look at what's wanted.

That's his quote for providing an estimate

You missed April fools day mate

Between 5k and 35k. Depends on a lot of things.
Some people pay 35k for a bathroom.

 

[Mrs Tara Plumbi]

The actual cost could be anything and depends a lot on what materials you intend to use and to some extend you location.
I think to budget £25k for what you describe is a good guide and as others said it could easily be a lot more or a lot less.

For your very rough budget:
Complete renovation of typical bathroom £8-£10k
Ditto kitchen.
Small WC room perhaps £3k
New Boiler & complete CH allow £4k.

If you are working in other rooms there may be overlap for the tradesmen involved:
electrician, plasterer, carpenter etc...


NOTE: as said we often install bathroom as and kitchens that are in the range of £20k each - it is easy to reach that sort of figure with some nice stuff.

I would say Croppie is in the right area having looked at a property me and the wife want that needs refurbishment I work out it want 18k spent on it and that with me doing a lot of the work and getting stuff at trade prices, plus I don't live in London

 

[Donnwick]

You can renovate it, but renovating it will be quite expensive.
