Out of interest, where are you getting your materials (tiles and gooey stuff) from?

I know! Ssssshhhhh! That's lined up to be a pool room / bar / snug! Only the Maude doesn't know it yet... it's the bonus really. We'd have bought it without the cellar being there... and we've no idea what state it's in or whether it's damp or not. It currently looks like a scene...

I think the bulk of this work will have to be done by a professional... weekends / time off won't be enough to get it done quickly enough. So... I had assumed any selected builder would be able to point me to the local planning dept. and be used to getting things approved? Is that an...
