OK, I have need of a general builder and despite numerous attempts at obtaining quotes I've only been met with either a complete lack of a response or utterly ridiculous quotes.

Cheers Chaps. Perhaps it's just a Christmas thing, nobody can be bothered. Not sure but it does seem a lot of builders are pricing themselves out of the market. Most frustrating. |

I had quotes for my garage build back in 2007 and they ranged from £40k to £90k for a friggin garage.

^ when we where looking at extending our old house at Banbury we look at 2 builders, one our mate used and another good reputable builder, trouble is this other fella priced him self out by a HUGE margin. If it dont work.......burn it!

Buy a bigger house, more cost effective. Or move to the middle of nowhere and love it ..... ooops |

I live in sw London, near to me in Chessington a dentist practice had a two storey extension, and some sundry improvements to frontage was done, nicely, so I asked the guys the ballpark figure, and they said around £60000. This sounded good to me, it might have been first fix, the guys were from Midlands, maybe riding the property boom in London. The job looked great, and it's in use now. Another down my mothers street saw a similar two story but downstairs was a shallow motorbike garage, and a back room extn with rooms above, around £75000. Looks nice. Nearly finished. I asked as I'm itching to do something similar myself, ie have it done etc. look at properties, ask around, maybe even drive around and knock! You can't beak a recommendation, or just a guide price.
