What the job includes
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Decisions to make first
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
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.
