Working in Macclesfield
We cover every part of Macclesfield, including SK9, SK10 and SK11, and nearby Wilmslow (6.4 miles) and Bramhall (7 miles).
In Macclesfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For listed and period properties in Macclesfield, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. A renovation survey in Macclesfield looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Decisions to make first
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
