Working in Portsmouth
We cover every part of Portsmouth, including PO1, PO2, PO3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Gosport (1.7 miles) and South Hayling (5.1 miles).
Portsmouth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. In Portsmouth flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If you have just bought a house in Portsmouth, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.
Most of Hampshire has 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
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
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.
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.
