Working in Clacton-on-Sea
As well as Clacton-on-Sea itself (CO15), we survey in Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and Harwich.
Homes in and around Clacton-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Clacton-on-Sea, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Clacton-on-Sea 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
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
