The weeks before it starts

- A grant job waits for Meath County Council's approval.
Living without it
With one bathroom
The room is out of use for the whole job, QuoteHub.ie warns. If it's the only one, ask how the toilet will work at night, and plan showers elsewhere.

To get an accurate price
- Measure the room and note the window, door and any boxing.
- Say if anything moves: toilet, shower, basin. Moving them is the dearest line on most quotes.
- Know how you heat water: a combi boiler, a cylinder or an electric shower.
- Price the en-suite at the same time if it's due too.
