We want to get the new house professionally cleaned, and need to have every room painted, also internal doors. We also want to have carpet laid in lounge, stairs and bedrooms. Also some little jobs need to be done ASAP, like adding window locks in children's bedrooms.
Is it madness to arrange to have painters or carpet layers in the the same day we get the keys (also the day we move in, with two small DCs) ? In what order to do you paint/carpet? Is it a waste of money getting it professionally cleaned if we are going o have painters/carpets laid, creating mess and dust?
I am at a loss to know where is the best place to start - any advice from people who have been through it before much appreciated!
