Working in Exmouth

In Exmouth we cover EX8; we also cover Exeter, 9.2 miles away, and Newton Abbot.

In Exmouth, 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 Exmouth, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Exmouth 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 Devon 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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

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.

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

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 Exmouth?

Building control for Exmouth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
