i have considered the cost of fitting WC etc... as that kind of goes without saying that i will have to pay for all that. The charlatan cost of moving the power supply that EDF charges is the kick in the teeth. It's excessive, but as they have a monopoly on that part of the electrics you have no choice. As for a toilet being near a kitchen - well loads of people have that and it doesnt open near a kitchen. And you can easily do a mulcher loo which means the piping can connect up with any other drainage system near the house, so not that bad. The whole kitchen and dining room is being rebuilt. I just need a cheap electrician now who will do me a new fuse box and perhaps move it further away from the supply. That way i may be able to just box the supply/meter which would mean me not having to pay all that money. Would that work?
