[Bell Historians] Whitechapel charges

[Peter Trent]

Perhaps you should offer all the firms you want to tender an £80 fee for their estimates or  ask Whitechapel to waive theirs in the circumstances? For the combined expertise involved it is still cheaper than a Structural Engineers report or an initial Bat survey report come to that!

  Our case is different. We are very definitely proceeding. Even already 
  procured the back three of a new ring of 10. We want a new frame, 
  fittings and a front 7! Its definite business, not an initial 
  investigation.
