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
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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 Scotland

In Scotland, structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom may need a building warrant, which must be granted before that work starts. A straight refit rarely needs one. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
