I know this should be obvious, but renovating in winter is not a good idea. We've bought a new heater, and an electric blanket, but every finger and every toe has a chillblain on it, and that's not a pleasant experience, let me tell you. It is very difficult to heat the house when there are a large number of holes in the floor and walls big enough for cats to crawl in through (and they do). We have central heating, but in the interests of preventing a dust-storm, it is remaining firmly in the off position. On the upside, our latest gas bill is very low.
It hadn't been our intention to carry out the work in winter (in fact we'd been aiming for summer), but with numerous delays, it worked out that way. Still, if you have any control over it, try renovating in spring or autumn. Summer, too, is probably not such a hot idea, if you will pardon the pun, for similar reasons, but I would think it probably preferable over winter.
