I think I’ll be ok with the solid floor, just have to chase out a channel for a soil so I can get a cloakroom in, that’ll also enable a move of kitchen to the back. Then I can drop the artex covered ceiling in and lay all the plumbing from below, also giving me a chance to lay new downlighters. The intention is to delete the separate upstairs WC and build a new airing cupboard next to that, so we can still have DHW and CH whilst that’s being laid. Then move the bathroom wall to enlarge it and reinstate the upstairs WC. Gas, soil stack and gable end are all in the right place to do the work whilst the old system is in place, then a case of one last pressure flush, replace old panel rads with modern convector rads, magna clean inline and and flush & fill.
Sounds easy, watch it go to pieces!
Biggest ball ache is getting rid of plasterboard these days, costs more than new sheets and a day for a plasterer..
