Yes that's what I figured. The walls are solid. Is there no way of running the pipes in the gap between our ceiling and upstairs' floor? What do you reckon boxing in the plumbing might cost? £100/room plus materials?
Is there any way of hiding the electrical cabling in the ceiling cavity? The trunking doesn't run down the walls.
Thanks for the advice!
Quincy-
Depends if there is a ceiling cavity :)
Ex local? Might be brick / concrete

Considering plumbers are usually about 40-60 quid an hour I think you'd be looking at a lot more than 100 quid per room.
Electrics wise, you could pull off the skirting boards and replace them with ones that are designed to hide wires then you'd have a lot less on show...

Are the walls brick and ceiling concrete? If so it’s spendy to get that stuff hidden because there might not be a cavity -it requires digging out the walls then replastering.
And nobody wants to do it for you because it’s horrible work.
You can get nicer looking conduits for electrical socket additions. And you could box in the plumbing.
