Working in Southport

As well as Southport itself (L20, L21, L22 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk.

Across a large town like Southport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whether your Southport bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. A renovation survey in Southport 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

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
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
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
