Working in Great Malvern
As well as Great Malvern itself (WR14), we survey in Ledbury, Worcester and Tewkesbury.
Homes in and around Great Malvern vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A renovation survey in Great Malvern looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If your Great Malvern home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.
Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately 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
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
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.
Pipe material
Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
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.
