Unfortunately for us, we are complete newbies to period refurbishment so have no idea on what to budget for most things. I will list what needs doing, then if anyone could advise (with approx cost to have a professional do) I would be really grateful! I realise without knowing the spec it will be a ballpark figure but it would be good to have some idea!X
