Working in Bodmin

We cover every part of Bodmin, including PL31, and nearby St Austell (9.2 miles) and Newquay (15.8 miles).

Bodmin gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A renovation survey in Bodmin looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If you have just bought a house in Bodmin, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

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.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Bodmin?

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?

Often, for parts of the job. New electrical circuits, new drainage or connections to the soil stack, and structural changes such as removing a wall can all be building regulations work. Replacing a suite in the same positions usually is not. We tell you which items apply to your job and who will notify them.
