Lee, come on. Be realistic. How ever many thousands of pounds are there is correcting all the brickwork issue's we are faced with? I can't imagine how much it would cost to have the entire rear corner of the bungalow supported with Acro's and bricked up in matching red-brick and that's just for starters.
Then there's making good the internal decor too. I reckon it would be the equivalent of a 'write-off' for people that can't do this type of work themselves.
im not saying it wont cost you quite a bit.... but its worth it///
Christian, would you fit a cheaper part to the car that jeapordises it to save money? Even if it made the car look/perform shit?
No, but that's hardly a fair comparison. Customers get the choice, genuine parts for genuine part money for cheaper non-genuine parts. We favour the better quality parts, but if a customer wants to save money, they can.
In the circumstances of our bungalow, I would anticipate that it would cost well into 5 figures to correct these brickwork issue's. It is a monstrous amount of work and would, I imagine necessitate us moving out whilst it is done.
There are an awful lot of rendered properties around, so it can't be all bad if it's done properly. I'm not trying to cut corners there.
i never mentioned gen or non gen.
What i said was. You buy a part for 20 quid, fit it, charge 50 quid labour, and add 10 quid on to the cost of the part....imo is wrong.
Mate, regarding changing those bricks, you are getting far too worried about it. it would NOT go into 5 figures if i was doing it, so if you get quotes of that tell em to bollox.
Its not as drastic as you might thing mate...trust me. Some builders to rip you off(sadly) might tell you that, but it wouldnt....
Just looking, i could guesstimate at around 3.5-4k........
