Bedroom renovation project recently completed in Humberston. The customers brief was straightforward enough, ‘I want fitted wardrobes in this bedroom and it needs decorating’. The problem was, the customer had already contacted ‘Sharps' and ‘Hammonds’ for a quote, but had been put off by the scandalous price of between £4500 -£5500, just to supply and fit the wardrobes. I took the customers requirements and measurements and set about sourcing the wardrobes, hopeful I would be able to obtain a much more realistic price. After a bit of digging around, I found a trade only company that supply bedroom and kitchen furniture (they actually supply to the two before mentioned companies i’ve since found out). I requested a brochure and with this in hand paid the customer another visit to finalise the sizes. door and drawer design and colour and handles required. I then contacted the supplier for the price. I was astounded when i got the reply, £1570 to supply everything! Now, this did not include the fitting, but the price was astonishing, only a third of what customer had previously been quoted. I contacted the customer with the great news and he immediately gave us the go ahead, so the wardrobes were duly ordered. With a delivery date of three weeks hence, we started the project the week before the wardrobes were to arrive. We stripped the old wall paper, removed the old wardrobes, moved the electrical and aerial sockets to their new locations, fully plaster skimmed the room out and fitted a new door. The customer picked the paint colour, The ceiling was painted white matt emulsion and the walls also painted in matt emulsion. All the wood work and new door were painted in primer, undercoat and given a top coat of white eggshell. The following week, the wardrobes arrived. I expected them to be very nice, but what arrived surpassed mine and the customers expectations. Extremely solidly built and finished to the highest standard. They were certainly the best wardrobes we had ever fitted. The drawers mechanism was second to none, extremely strong and the best soft close i have ever seen. We fitted the wardrobes and the bridging canopy over where the bed will now reside. The finished room looks stunning and the customer is more than delighted. The total price was £3500, a far cry form what it would have been!
