Working in King's Lynn

We work right across King's Lynn — PE30 — and in neighbouring Wisbech and March.

In King's Lynn, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. A renovation survey in King's Lynn looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. In King's Lynn flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Most of Norfolk has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
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.

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.

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.
