Working in Lichfield

As well as Lichfield itself (WS13), we survey in Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge.

In Lichfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. A renovation survey in Lichfield looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. Whether your Lichfield bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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
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.

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Lichfield: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom renovation in Lichfield?

A bathroom renovation in Lichfield usually costs £7,400–£14,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

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 Lichfield.

Is the home survey in Lichfield really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WS13 in Lichfield?

Yes. We cover all of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
