Working in Old Trafford
We cover every part of Old Trafford, including M16, M17 and M32, and nearby Stretford (1.3 miles) and Salford (2.1 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Old Trafford: free survey, written quote, one team. A renovation survey in Old Trafford looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If your Old Trafford home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- 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.
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 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.
