A renovation survey in Vale of Leven looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

What the job includes
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- 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.
How far back to strip
Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom may need a building warrant, which must be granted before that work starts. A straight refit rarely needs one. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
