Working in Shirley

As well as Shirley itself (B28, B90 and B91), we survey in Solihull, Acocks Green and Birmingham.

Homes in and around Shirley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have just bought a house in Shirley, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. Whether your Shirley bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or 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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
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

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Shirley?

Building control for Shirley 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 Shirley.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
