Just completed on a 1st floor conversion (built 1890) flat, the following needs doing - wondered what order you would advise?
Windows need replacing – currently has old, wooden sash ones with signs of rot round the frame
Wiring is fairly old so a complete re-wire
Combi boiler put in – has an older system/regular boiler with a cylinder for storing hot water
WC is separate to bathroom (stud wall between them) so want to make it onto one, bigger bathroom with new bathroom suite and tiles
The rest just aesthetics i.e. walls skimmed and painted; and carpet taken up throughout and mostly replaced with laminate flooring bar the stairs up to the flat and the landing which will be re-carpeted.
I know re-wiring is messy so was thinking that first (plus allows us to ask for sockets etc in new places) then carpet as the last ‘new’ thing to go down? Are there any workmen that would need to work simultaneously?
NB: The flat is totally empty (probate sale) and we have alternative accommodation (parents) whilst the work is being carried out.
Cheers!
