Refurb'....what order?

[gra001]

Just had new central heating installed and now decided to completely refurb' my property to include the following:

New electrics
Re-board ceilings and plaster including walls and new coving
New kitchen
New bathroom
New flooring to include underfloor heating to kitchen and bathroom
Re-site loft hatch to garage
New roller garage door and floor tiling to include underfloor heating
Create door from hall into garage
Re-render front of property
New front door
New porch door
New internal doors, frames, architrave and skirting throughout
New gutters, facias, soffits, downpipes
Some roof work

After speaking with a couple of recommended builders it seems apparent they must have lots of work as there is a distinct lack of interest in even providing a quote so I'm now considering doing the ripping out myself and then contacting specialist trades (electrician, plasterer etc) to do their bit. I'm not concerned about the ripping out but apart from the obvious what order should the rest be done, eg, electrics before plastering or visa versa?....Thanks!

Are you living there and if so how much mess can you stand? Cheapest will be trade at a time for the whole house but peole often can't stand that so do room at a time. More or less: joiner, plumber, electrician, plasterer, fitter (kitchen, bathroom, workshop, torture chamber, etc.)

Do any roof works first.

I'm staying but made room for any trades by donating all my stuff to the "British Heart Foundation". I'm living in the bedroom with a fridge, washing machine and a microwave in the kitchen.

Thanks guys, I'm also hoping that doing it this way (employing separate trades rather that a builder to do the lot) will help the budget. Just been browsing "The little red book", (endorsed traders published by Which?) that dropped through the letterbox today and tempted to make a couple of calls. Anyone have any experience of the listings quality?
