Sounds like you need a handy man :-)

Seriously, you have just described one of my market sectors perfectly.

Dave, i have looked at your website and you are to far away unfortunately!
However, I have a local handyman that i know well who charges a very
reasonable £20 per hour labour and often throws in "bit and pieces" he has
in the back of his van for free which is a bonus. I think he will install
the new toilet and plumb in the new sink (there is currently no sink in the
WC) and install waste to the outside drain.

Out of interest, today i got a quote to supply and fit a new UPVC front
door, a large kitchen window and WC window from a local trusted window
company. They quoted £900 all in (fittings, making good etc.). As a trade
customer i called a few wholesale window companies for the supply only of
said windows and door all including hardware/cills and the door frame - the
best quote for comparative quality and glass design on the door was £750. I
reckon it would take around a day and a half to replace these items myself
so will probably go with the window company which will also register with
fensa. For the sake of £150 its just not worth the hassle, or am i just
getting old!
