What the job includes
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- 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
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
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.
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.
