Product Description

Product Description
Fed up with pricey plumbers, elusive electricians and bodgey builders? Have you got a building, plumbing, electrical job to sort out and aren't sure how much it could, should, would cost if the perfect builder, plumber or electrician could be found to help you sort it out? Property developer, building expert and television presenter, Sarah Beeny is here to help with Price the Job - covering a break down of what is involved and the price to expect (materials, parts and labour) home maintenance and any building task imaginable - so that you need never feel that sense of panic, insecurity and desperation when faced with a quote again. Part one examines the job needed and how to find the right contractors for the job, how to estimate the time the job will take and how to calculate and assess quotes. Sarah explains her top five steps on how to get the job done: working out what you want done, what each part of the job entails, what you can do yourself, how to source the materials and how to source the labour. Part two details exactly how much you should be paying for work done. Every job is covered, from the simplest rewiring or emergency repair to large-scale building jobs, inside and out. Packed with Sarah's practical and straightforward advice, this is an indispensable guide for anyone contemplating undertaking any type of building work in their home.

About the Author
Presenter of Channel Four's television series Property Ladder, Sarah Beeny is a successful property developer, with over ten years experience of running her own development and investment companies. Sarah divides her time between London and Yorkshire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy, Man, 21 Jun 2006
By Brian Pike (North Yorkhire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Now here's a book that could really come in useful. Admittedly you have to put up with the occasional picture of Ms Beeny scowling threateningly at the camera (implied message to dodgy tradesmen: mess with me and you'll be talking two octaves higher for the rest of your days). And, yes, some of her estimates manage to be simultaneously both vague and strangely precise ("doorknob: £5 to £44"). Nevertheless, this compact little book -- small enough to slip between a builder's arse cheeks -- is bristling with tips that could save you a small fortune. Or at any rate take a good deal of the stress out of dealing with plumbers, electricians, tilers, carpet-layers, glaziers and the like. With immaculate logic Ms Beeny dissects each project into its component elements and pins a time and a price on each. Costings, of course, will vary between different parts of the country. And a few years hence they might well be out-of-date. But hey, it's a start. Let's hope they keep it regularly updated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Beeney Bounces Back..., 7 Oct 2007
By Ping Buzzer (Londinium, UK) - See all my reviews
Ok, so I am a simple chap and not very good at knowing if someone is diddling me so I bought this book to help me when I was recently getting in some people to do work at my house. It actually worked out really well and saved me a lot of time and money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Building for Dummies, 11 April 2008
I did not find this book particularly useful. OK, it may be for people who have never ever done any building/renovation/fitting job in their house. If you have, this book will not help you much.
