Okay, so I'm looking at buying a 3 bed house and converting it to a 4 bed by re-arranging the upstairs and loosing 2 or 3 large cupboards.
Currently the boiler, cold tank and h/w cylinder are in large cupboards in the main bedroom. The bathroom would need re-tiling and new suite if i left it as a 3 bed anyway so I'm thinking it wouldn't be a huge amount of extra work to relocate it co create the 4th bedroom I'm after. I think the house was built late 60s, all the internal walls are quite thin stud walls.
I'd like to take down pretty much all the walls upstairs and create a new layout with stud walls and an internal bathroom (no window, extractor fan), move the cold tank into the loft, and re-locate the h/w cylinder over about 1.5m into a new airing cupboard (leave the boiler where it is). I see a couple of options for routing a new soil pipe to the existing stack. Looking for a good but not fancy finish, vinyl flooring bathroom, molded doors, decent bathroom tiles on marine ply walls.
Some of it I could do in theory but I know its better to just get a professional in do do it, I'd really appreciate an idea on what I should be expecting to budget for this?
I'm thinking:
4 stud walls, doors and frames £750 each, £3,000
Bathroom £1,400
Moving plumbing and tanks £1,700
A bit of electrical £300
Skip £200
Am I in the right ball park or way off?
Painting and carpets I'd get done separately
Many thanks for reading
