What the job includes

A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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 Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers drainage, structural changes and ventilation, with ventilation set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but new wiring should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

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.
