Complete re-plumbing - 3 Bed - Lancs

Due to constant leaks from the D.I.Y plumbing previously done, I need to replace most of the plumbing in a 3 Bed Semi in Lancs.

I thought I might as well get some other stuff done at the same time, and will be having people in to quote next week for:

Install 1 x towel radiator in bathroom (currently standard radiator)
Move 2 x radiators into adjoining rooms (no current pipe work)
Replace thermostat control on 1 radiator.
Replace pipe work around entire house ( usage points: 1 bathroom with cold water pipe for shower, 1 Kitchen with dishwasher point, 1 Utility room (washing machine point), 1 downstairs toilet)
Swap out bath, toilet, sink in bathroom.
Swap out toilet in cloakroom.

Boiler is about 6 years old, and going strong, so nothing needs doing for that.

It's a big job, so I fully expect to be spending some K's, any ideas what is reasonable?

I'm hoping that by combining the jobs now, I can save myself paying out for smaller chunks of it over the next couple of years.

Thanks

    Hey, thanks for the reply. The house is being lived in but I can go round to my mom's while the works being done. I plan to rip out the carpets and remove wallpaper etc beforehand as I want to redecorate. At the moment, still waiting for people to turn up to quote!

    I've made a schedule that contains everything that needs doing, thanks.
