Working in Deeside

Homes in and around Deeside vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything.

If you have just bought a house in Deeside, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Most of Clwyd 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

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

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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 Wales

Wales applies its own building regulations, including a wider Part P and its own Parts F and H. Structural and drainage changes go through building control in much the same way as in England.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Deeside?

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?
