Totall lost for words, I can't belive you can do a flush rewire on a 3 bed 20 s/o 8 l/drops 8 switch drops 1 way 2 switch drops 2 way plaster and test inc carpet and furniture removals in two days - I bet it's not sugar you sprinkle on your cornflakes , As for cost materials about £ 500.00 so if you do it two days about right (pound notes though )

Sounds too cheap to me, hard to say without having seen the property and getting a feel for it but roughly I would have thought more like £4kish all in if you're plastering up and everything too. It's got to be worth you doing it though, and only you know how much you want from the job. I can't imagine after paying everyone and your materials you'd be left with much from £2.5k. Also bare in mind that something WILL go wrong on a job like that and suck a few hours that you hadn't accounted for and there's a good chance you might get a call to ask something or something tripping after you've gone that you need to see the customer about and might eat up more time with no pay.
 
My view is that its not too cheap based on the fact that it will only take a day

plaster £300.00
materials £600.00
2 sparks £360.00
1 mate £100.00

profit £1140.00

simples
 
and the 76 pounds for parking and congestion charge, 38 quid a day for each van, then the fuel presumablly they arn't local as they would of had a better idea on london rates ;), and from what was mentioned earlier there will be something that goes wrong, so there isn't any buggeration factor in the price.
