We had a very large bathroom with a sunken bath. A real WOW factor, totally impractical, a large space that was difficult to heat, despite underfloor heating. Decision made 8 weeks ago to split it into a family bathroom and en-suite. A builder came to have look, asked our budget and basically got on with it, predicitng a 4 week job. He was recommended to us by close friends one of whom is in the "trade" and lives next door to him and another former customer of his.
It's been a journey - but he's more or less finished now (awaiting a vanity unit which is being delivered in the new year) more or less on budget and a mere day over his projected time frame.
No compaints at all. A real family firm of father, son and grand-son - the father and son are bikers (which always helps), the old man is a coach-builder and some of his joinery work is very well done. Every trade was in-house apart from the electrics.
What’s surprising is that availabiltity of "stuff" was good, but expensive compared to 2019. Nice bit of work that has enhanced our home and made it safer for any future changes.
They drank their way through my tea stock though !
