Hello John, You need to have it surveyed Advertise you job on this site and you will receive 3 quotes. You are no obliged to go with any or them but you need to understand that the trades men that call you will have payed a fee to be introduced to you,the fee is regulated to the value that you put on this work, it's best to keep your budget low for a good response. Regards Michael
