We are renovating the whole house, including

gas CH
fitted kitchen
bathroom (incl moving a wall)
guest WC
oak flooring
tiled flooring
paper and decorating
rewire
windows

Any top tips on getting exactly what we want? Any thing you have done and regretted, or not done and regretted?

Do we go for a company that offers several of these services, or individual tradesmen?

We had a joiner and plumber lined up but they have been SO unreliable, I am now looking into getting a company that does all.

See this thread too and please note my point about being boring as you like for 4 months of my life that I'm never getting back.

NB we went for one general construction company who sourced the trades for us (and were happy to use them which makes things easier imo)
They also priced to "general finish" i.e. plaster and skirting but no decor/painting (we got a decorator to do as we are both crap at painting and time poor so thought it would be better to get it finished)
We are pleased but omg the convos about sinks etc
