At bit on the expensive side,but she might go with that.
It still a days work plus the time to get mterials and the time involved in going to quote.

If you can get it then brilliant. If not £200 is fine.

You ain't as bad as a mate of mine as he priced a job he told me that it was a weeks work we did it in a day 
and he had charged her £1200 it was a bit embarrassing as he had told her that it would take a week, and at the end of the day she even came up with the money fair play but i told him if i would of priced the job i would of probably gone in at £300 i said he could price all our jobs from now on;D
