Roofing and insulation costs

Wh1skeyjack

Hi all,

I've recently bought a detached single storey house of about 2000sq ft. It's an interesting mix of a 1890's gate lodge with a 1990's extension. It needs some work and I'm wondering what it'll cost me. I've a budget of about 50k.

Roof:
Needs to be reflashed with either lead or fibreglass, and the fall isn't great so that needs to be redone.
Brick chimneys (4) need to be cleaned of paint and repointed.

House:
The 1890s part needs to be drylined. Internal wall length of about 25m x 2.5m in height, so about 62.5m2. Some radiators would need to be moved and replumbed. As far as I know, the 1990's extension has cavity walls and can be pumped. The windows are recently doubleglazed and are fine.

The back wall of the 1890s house needs to be replastered, about 50m2 (possibly needs lime render)

Ensuite installed in the master bedroom

An ensuite removed from a bedroom (too small to have it in there)

I'd also like to knock a structural internal wall of about 6m in length and 3m in height, which would likely necessitate a steel support. There's also the need for new carpets and flooring, and a kitchen, but those can wait if necessary.

Is this budget reasonable? I'm prepared to row back on things like the flooring and kitchen and live with it for a few years.
Thanks in advance!

I would get 4 builders quotes

my guess 100k

newly amended Building Control Regulations will come into effect on March 2014. which will drive costs up

is it a listed building

12k-18k for roof retile and repair timbers,

Really, as much as that? No, it's not listed. If I start works before March would I still be subject to the new regulations? Thanks for the response.

Edit: I just looked at the document in question:http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/pdf/2013/en.si.2013.0080.pdf
and it seems they don't apply as it's not a new building and there's no extension being added.

I understand the new Building Control Regulations only apply to new buildings, extensions over 40 sq.m., works that require planning permission, or a FSC is required and so would not be applicable to these works?
