How much does it cost to repair a crawl space?

There's damp and a couple of rotten joists in the crawl space under my floor. What sort of price am I looking at to get it sorted?

"The cost will depend on the extent of the damp and how badly the joists are affected. For a couple of rotten joists and minor damp treatment, you could typically expect around £1,000–£2,500. If more joists or floorboards need replacing, or there is a significant ventilation or damp issue, the cost could be £3,000–£5,000+. I would recommend an inspection first to identify the source of the damp before replacing any timber, otherwise the problem may return."

"A Carpenter and Joiner would correct this work for around £1600 - up to maybe £2200 including injection of DPC and plastering."
