Oh well, went for it and ripped down all the old plasterboard walls and glad i did as it opened up some new ideas. Going to cost me £150 to get all the plasterboard put back up. Thinking of removing a wall to fit a banister at the top of the stairs.

anyone got any input on this??

.... yeah the radiators are all new but upgraded from back boiler to combi about 3 yrs ago but they guy who fitted them must not have bothered, he wont be back lol, will get it sorted. what about my previous question about closing off that rad without a TRV??
