How much would it cost for two miter joints to be made and have worktops fitted? Includes sink and hob hole.
So far I've been quoted 250 for this job, which is a bit much.
seems about the going rate, tbh.
One of those jobs it's easy to bugger up with expensive results.
£50 for the time, £50 for the tools, £150 for the expertise?
It will take a day or so I bet. Walls at right angles? Everything level?
Sounds a bit expensive but not ridiculous to me
Into standard type laminate worktops? It's a hefty job to do right with everything clamped up properly using router and jigs. I'd say even someone who does this stuff all day long will be taking most of a day on it. You haven't said what the wall is like at the back of the worktop, and whether your angles are at 90,that can make quite a difference too. I don't think your quote is that bad, since you're effectively handing the level and finish responsibility for the whole kitchen over.
That's a long day's labour yes? Seems a bit long to me.
Sounds like the going rate. I think tradesmen's skills are underrated, see how long it takes you to do it, how much you spend on jigs and tools and how many new worktops you go through before you get it right. Try and use someone recommended or see examples of their work.

A local kitchen fitter did ours in a couple of hours, and that was for exactly what the OP is looking at. I think we paid him £50 cash!
I charge £50 per joint, £20 per cut out and £10 per end for edging + materials, that's worktops cut , bolted and screwed down. Around £175 for your job without seeing it.
Blazin - that is about what I was expecting to pay. One guy on the phone said no more than 150, but he hasn't got back.
I was expecting around 150-170 or so. I have everything that is needed, just need somebody that is skilled to to do the work.
I'd probably charge about 150 all in, but people keep telling me i'm too cheap.
Assuming is a standardish u shape It'd take a good half day if they went at it flat out without buggering about too much dependent on the worktop lengths and state of the walls.
This is the busiest time of year for most trades people so not suprised if they can't get to you straight away. I always tell people a date and stick to it as much as poss, even if it's 6-8 weeks time (common for me) can't stand people who say they'll be able to do it next week even if they know they don't stand a chance in hell just to get the job.

Walls aren't great, but I was planning on putting up a 6" splash guard to take away some of the difference in the wall and lessen it;s effect.
Worst bit is the back kitchen wall, but that can be smoothed over with polyfilla
