Working in Keighley

As well as Keighley itself (BD21 and BD22), we survey in Bingley, Baildon and Shipley.

Homes in and around Keighley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Keighley, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. A renovation survey in Keighley looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

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.

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.

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.
