'I added £40K to the value of my dark and grubby council house by transforming it with Primark bargains – here’s how'
“Our budget was £16,000, which sounds a lot but it really isn’t when doing a full renovation from floor to ceiling - especially when taking into account plumbing, electrics, building materials and furnishings.
“We started on the big jobs and we cut out a lot of the labour costs with Dan doing 95 per cent of the work. “We had a friend doing the electrical rewiring at mate’s rates of £5,000, and Dan’s brother re-plumbed the whole house for free. “The whole place needed repainting and we had to scrape off three layers of wallpaper from every single wall and even the ceiling.“We bought three sturdy column radiators and chrome fittings from
for £341. These would have cost us thousands if we hadn’t been so savvy and just bought them on the high street.
