This is when things started to get expensive. Before the plumber came I uncovered loads more plumbing issues which meant I wasn't sure about tackling as much myself. I decided to get the plumber to do all the work which meant 3 days removing ALL existing pipework pretty much and replacing it all with Hep2o pipe in a much better planned way. He also plumber in all the rads which I now realise would have been beyond me in all honesty. He did it all in a short period which may have taken me weeks. Most of his bill was parts too which I still would have had to buy.
The electrician was there at the same time and I found that I'd need a new consumer unit to match current regs. I wanted sockets in the workshop and one outside as well as the new ring for the kitchen with all the bells and whistles that go along with that.
