What the job includes

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
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

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.
