What the job includes

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
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

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

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 Elland?

Building control for Elland 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 Elland.

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
