Pricing & Quotes
“Getting quotes or estimates are difficult to procure for these types of works”
As visible rot is likely to be only the “tip of the ice berg”it makes the provision of a fixed quote a difficult assignment for any builder working with the renovation of a heritage home.
Consequently we only provide estimates for the work we are asked to look at.
An estimate is essentially a rough guideline of cost given the likely scope of the works that can be determined before repair works begin.
Work is carried out on an hourly rate with materials and subcontractors costs subject to a 15% margin.
