What the job includes

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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.

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.
