Rough cost for this.. Joinery related

[justin220]

Ok the misses is complaining we don't have enough wardrobe space, we've currently got a built in wardrobe in each of two bedrooms, which back onto each other.

What we'd like to do is knock down the wall in-between, to give bedroom one, a large wardrobe the length of the wall, and close up the wardrobe in bedroom two. If that makes sense?

What would a joiner charge for this? Roughly?

a joiner won't knock a wall down. if they say they will, don't trust them.

if it isn't load bearing, it'll be just the cost of constructing the wardrobe. i can't estimate costs as i have no idea what material you want [mdf or mahogany] or how big it is.

if the wall is load bearing you can add a few hundred for an rsj fitting, and add fees for re-routed plumbing if there are any pipes in the wall. a good builder can tell you whether it is load bearing or not

as is always the case using the internet for building quotes, it's a case of how long is a piece of string?

...and whether the string is structural.

Hi Justin, I have a bespoke cabinet business, give me an idea of what the wardrobes are going to be like and size and I'll give you a rough idea of what I'd charge, my websites in my profile.

Also bear in Mind that what appear to be normal Stud Walls, can be structural.

Thanks guys, yes I often post on the workshop UK and woodwork UK sites, I'm lucky that my work is like a hobby, but with a bit more pressure for deadlines and profit.
Still enjoy chatting about it.
Not many posts on here as compared to most I know very little, just love the banter.
