Waltham Abbey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Waltham Abbey flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. Whether your Waltham Abbey bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.
Water across much of Essex is 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 hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- 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
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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.
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.
