I am sure you will get some advice from people close to you. I would say people will be hesitant to give a quote, you will find once someone starts stripping back the rot it will be a lot worse than it first looks, what you might think would be a £200 job usually ends up as an £800 job, you cant weld rot and nobody on here will want ot do a bodge job. The trouble is non welders think people charge silly money for little jobs but there is a lot of work in the prep, its not just zapping bits of metal on willy nilly. I always remember thinking I paid a lot for welding jobs on an old car I had years ago, now I know I know it takes more than you think in time and skill.
Hope you get sorted, you might even learn to weld and do the work yourself, it is addictive once you start...
