What the job includes
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
