Hi Tom, no I didn't find a fitter in the end - I did it myself as I felt I could control the upheaval better as a have a young family. I have had experience with a number of trades but I could only recommend a plaster out of all of them. Happy to pass on name but he does get busy though. As for advice on the area - I don't invest in Leicester (but do live there) as it seems there is a lot of competition for property and over-supply in some places, but this is just my opinion. I invest further North in smaller areas. Good luck with your investments. Ash
