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!

A lot of manual work & skills required for this work, that will last for years. Spend same on a car for 5y use, maybe?

Am glad I'm not a builder!

With regards to the width between the spindles for the stairs, we were informed the requirement is that it can't be wider than a tennis ball.
