Fred,
I would always go with the builder option for a couple of reasons:
I'm no good at that sort of DIY;
I'm bone idle;
The job sounds as though it needs a professional eye cast over it.
As you say, your insurance ain't going to pay up because of a botched DIY job.
If you are going to attempt it yourself, then I'd go with curryman - get a youth in to do the hard work. Just "pay" him in with some fizzy pop and sweeties for his efforts.
From past experience, good builders around here charge between 200€ and 250€ a day. Not bad if you can source the materials yourself and sit back in peace and watch someone else do the work knowing it's not going to fall down.
There. That was a lot of help wasn't it? Not.
