What the job includes

  • New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
  • Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
  • Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
  • New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician

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.

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.
