I'm a bit out of the loop with consumer wifi but I've had good success with Asus routers (can be configured as extenders). I'd start with one and take it from there.
    It has pretty thick block walls which I think would work as a very effective barrier.

    No, theres stone cladding on the outside.

    Thanks for all the help lads.
    In the end I handed them a print out of a TP Link extender and a TP Link electricity wiring piggyback extender but said neither are likely to work as well as they'd like. I recommended getting a competent person to run a cable as that's the only thing that can be guaranteed to work, given the house.

    Thanks
