Homes in and around Sittingbourne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A renovation survey in Sittingbourne looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If you have just bought a house in Sittingbourne, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.
Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. 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
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- 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
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
