What the job includes
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Decisions to make first
The floor
Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.
Asbestos testing
In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.
Rules that apply in England
