I would budget for having to replace the subfloor / some walls too.
Very likely that water ingress has rotted parts of beams, floors etc unless it was perfectly sealed. You’d definitely need new board / plaster.

If it was me, I'd probably want to just cap the soil/waste pipes in situ (just in case).
Any water pipes you need to cap at the t that feeds them from main circuit, to avoid getting dead ends, which can lead to stagnant water.

Morning all,
A house we are in the process of buying has an en suite off the main bedroom that we want to get rid of to turn the space into a small walk in wardrobe. I've very little experience of DIY and just want to get a handle on how much of that would require paying professionals so I can budget accordingly. I'm assuming removing a bathroom suite (electric shower in cubicle, sink and toilet) needs someone who knows what they're doing to cap everything off etc, but after that am I also likely looking at plastering too?
