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
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

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales applies its own building regulations, including a wider Part P and its own Parts F and H. Structural and drainage changes go through building control in much the same way as in England.

Is the water hard in Penarth?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Penarth?

Building control for Penarth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Allow 8–15 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Penarth.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
