Central Heating Installation - Leeds

Hi,

I am in the process of buying a house that needs central heating and plumbing for a new bathroom (including a waste pipe - the toilet is currently downstairs). How much do you think this would cost?

Also, can anyone recommend someone good to do the job? I have had a look at Rated Tradesmen, but it has had some negative comments on these forums - almost entirely from tradesmen themselves. Has anyone here actually hired a tradesman from theis site?

Any help would be much appreciated!

    I was actually planning to do the installation myself, so it's only the plumbing that needs to be done.

    Would the same person/company do both, or do I need 2 seperate tradesmen? I'm a little nervous about just posting my details on Screwfix for all and sundry to contact me! I'd prefer a recommendation, but I don't know anyone who's had ths job done.

    Er, yeah sorry: that was as clear as mud!

    I meant I was planning to install the bathroom myself, so I will only need the pipes to be laid, etc. I will install and connect up the bath, toilet and sink
