Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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

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
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

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.

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.

Consent comes from the council and must be in place before work starts, so the design allows time for it.
