You see, that's what I thought, ish. Thanks all, you've confirmed, I think, that our quote seems a trifle high.
The quote is £3500, and this is from our man we've used before and we know does a very good job, which is why we started with him. We therefore got another quote from someone else - £4000.
Sigh.
We've also just had a quote for a repair to a glass roof - eleven pieces of safety glass cut to size (they are all different shapes and sizes), then fitted. No other work involved. £2300.
Every single time we get quotes for anything at all it's always seems to be vastly more than anyone else seems to be paying, which is why I wondered if this is a Cambridge thing. Feels like we pay top-end London prices (but we don't get London salaries).
