er...funny lines etc above, but a risk assesment might be in order here.
Got the t shirt for this from a previous house. Get a 'professionals' opinion which is free from any builder - just ask for an estimate and listen to what they have to say.
If it is, whatever you do, don't take the original option of hammer, pizza and beer, unless you never want to walk upstairs again.
Don't skip the building regs bit either - massive false economy. You will sell the house at some stage and when you do, they will ask for the regs and 'I lost them down the back of the old settee' won't wash.
If you really are going to attempt to DIY, get someone in who knows what they're doing. Sound advise from Uncle and Jon et al, but doing it is another matter.
Excellent use of the word 'flange'.
