I was right then lol

In a way yes, you were the closest with that stab in the dark. But I honestly cant see how anybody would make any profit on that sort of figure.

Either that or I am so out of touch.

i agree with cliff.  if you have a week to spare, then 1200 would be good money.  trouble is as you say how long it would take.  reckon it'd take me a few hours just to do the quote!

My thoughts {for what they are worth} are larger companies can price this just to cover their lads wages for a few days and make their profit on their regular jobs. If you thought it would take you and one other say five eight hour days, they would have two teams of two on it for two to three days, price = £1200 plus vat.

I might point out its not always the cheapest quote that wins.but if its way over the cheapest you dont stand a chance.even at £1200 plus vat its not a job id do alone so would think twice about it.
2 men should get it done it 2 1/2 days which makes it more appealing.

2 much work for 1 man in my eyes but doable.

When we're quoting schools we always push for longer days, ie access 7am-6pm, then £1000 for a couple of days work isn't bad at all
