Hi
When we moved into our house, there were plans for a loft conversion. We now find that we're quite keen on the idea. Thing is, you hear so many horror stories about dodgy tradesmen!
We wondered how it works, if we get people in to give us a price, is it likely to escalate? Is there a way to get a price and stick to it. The loft conversion plans are for a bedroom and ensuite, I'm assuming that if we bought the bathroom suite....anything else would be included in the price (excluding tiles/decor which we would sort out ourselves).
Basically we'd want stairs up to it, skirtings, electricity, plastering and plumbing done. We'd do the decorating/tiling on our own.
Can anyone advise on how to go about this and how to avoid dodgy tradesmen. We are working to a tight budget and would really need to agree a price without things getting out of hand.
Thanks in advance!
