Birkenhead is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you have just bought a house in Birkenhead, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. A renovation survey in Birkenhead looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

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.

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.

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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?
