Working in Canvey Island
We work right across Canvey Island — SS7 and SS8 — and in neighbouring South Benfleet and Hadleigh.
In Canvey Island, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Canvey Island home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense. In Canvey Island flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
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.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
