Hi there! I'm . I need an ESTIMATED quote to renovate my tool shed. It's a 5m x 4m brick-room, which requires: * New ceiling * New plaster * New non-slip floor tiles * And of course the light fitting and 2 switches must be re-fitted. * With this, it also has a small 1.5m x 50mm window that needs replacing. Please advise costs to renovate, as well as a separate quote indicating what it would cost to build a room like this from scratch (a brick-room with door and security gate). Thanks!

I would like to remodel main my front entrance: moving the front door + gate a few steps away from current location (walls and roof are existing) & cut a new doorway from the garage, onto a new staircase that will also lead straight to the front door ad into the house.
