Thanks, not far off what I imagined it would cost.
Would probably stick with the hallway as that’s what you see and use the most and repaint the wardrobes and fit new handles, can always do them later.
Any idea what’s the cheap-expensive order for surfaces?
I’m guessing:
£ painted MDF
££birch ply.
£££ Veneered ply-richlite/valchromat etc
££££ solid hardwood?
Mr_Smyth-
I was quoted several thousand pounds for three fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms. the quote had primed-MDF and birch ply options. the birch ply was £800 more per bedroom.
we have an ikea non-fitted wardrobe in one bedroom. it was £700. it's about the same size as the fitted wardrobe that would replace it (1500mm W x 2600mm H x 600mm D). was quoted for that £2300 MDF, £3100 birch ply. not sure if that's representative (of e.g. london prices) and it's only one quote I have for now

I used South London Makers They’ve been pretty quiet on the instagram lately though so don’t know if he’s still out there doing it. They did me some oak/valchromat fitted wardrobes; floor to almost ceiling-ish, one bifold opening, one standard (that I meant to stick a mirror on the back of, but never got around to it). It cost a lot compared to buying something standard, but it was a neat solution to the problem and I was firing the money gun pretty heavily on the house that year.
If you’re just doing doors and frames then you’re saving three (well, five) sides of the faff and materials. A based-on-nothing guess from me would be 1.5k+ depending on hardware and complexity. Multiply that by however many fingers you feel like holding up once you throw wardrobes into the mix. You’ll likely need two hands.
