Working in St Neots

In St Neots we cover PE19; we also cover Huntingdon, 8.6 miles away, and Biggleswade.

In St Neots, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In St Neots flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If your St Neots home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
