Working in Birmingham

We cover every part of Birmingham, including B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts, and nearby Smethwick (2.9 miles) and West Bromwich (4.7 miles).

Birmingham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. A renovation survey in Birmingham looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If you have just bought a house in Birmingham, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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

Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
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 wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician

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.

Bathroom renovation in Birmingham: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Birmingham?

A bathroom renovation in Birmingham usually costs £7,400–£14,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Birmingham?

Building control for Birmingham 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.

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.
