Just got a surveyor's report, and while it's mostly cosmetic stuff, I'd be interested to know how much cosmetic stuff costs to fix these days. My first house, so be gentle. Let's assume that I'll be doing the things a slightly ratted monkey could do (sanding, varnishing, etc), but I still need to purchase all relevant tools, gadgets. Electrics, tiling, etc will be performed by experts.
All skirtings require sanding, finishing and some gaps are visible between skirtings and floors/walls that require filling. The entire space in the house is around 95m.sq. so I don't know if that helps in determing how much skirting there is. There are 3 rooms downstairs and 5 upstairs.
Bathrooms require tiling, all floors and walls, I would think. The 3 rooms are 3.5m.sq, 6.3m.sq and 2.4m.sq approx. The rooms are standard height (I don't have the measurements to hand, 7 feet?)
My surveyor has also recommended marine ply on the floors with the ceramic tiling. I have no idea what this is.
Outside, I need to seal joints in the path to avoid growth, paint the plinths, sills and reveals. I need to put top soil on and level the garden. My own measurements put the garden at around 27m.sq. There are also outside lights and doorbell to be fitted.
So without going in specifics, what is a ballpark figure for all these things, hundreds? thousands? tens of thousands?
