Good luck, it all sounds daunting to me!
I need window frames replaced but £££ and the hard sell / high quote haggle approach that was the normal in the 90's means I can't bring myself to contact any fitter to go through that process. I don't think I've ever said that out loud.
The plumber I use was a lucky find in a time of crisis (boiler flooded) and the electrician is friend of friend.
There's building work needed but see Windows anxiety. I haven't got time or energy to fuck around playing the game within the system as it is.

I've been putting off getting the rusty bars on our windows blasted and powdercoated since we moved in six years ago. I'm gonna have to organise that very soon while the weather's cooler. It's such a pain in the balls, I can't put it off any longer.
And we're getting a veranda built onto the front of the house in the coming weeks. Seems like we're saving all the jobs up for one big hit. Fuck knows when we'll get a garage built, we've been fucked over by builders so many times. Price has doubled since our first quote in 2020, ugh.
But yeah, totally agree with you. I hate all of it.
