Working in Falmouth

We work right across Falmouth — TR11 — and in neighbouring Truro and Redruth.

In Falmouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have just bought a house in Falmouth, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. In Falmouth flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

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

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

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.

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

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.
