Working in Lancing

As well as Lancing itself (BN15), we survey in Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and Portslade.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lancing: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have just bought a house in Lancing, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. For listed and period properties in Lancing, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. 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
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

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.

Do you cover BN15 in Lancing?

Yes. We cover all of Lancing, including BN15, and nearby Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and Portslade. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
