What the job includes

- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
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.
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.
