What this work involves
Define the functions you need. Drainage, water, ventilation and electrical positions influence the layout. Coordinate niches, lighting and tile sizes before work starts.
- Layout and access to fittings
- Substrate and waterproof connections
- Drainage, water and ventilation
- Safe electrical arrangements
- Tiles, joints, sealants and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Identify mouldings and original elements that must be retained beforehand.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Which trade-off matters?
Exact reproduction and a clearly contemporary addition are different design choices. Compare their junctions; an almost matching brick or profile can look less coherent than a carefully chosen contrast.
Compare the complete intervention
Allow a separate item for making good around the junction. The new wall may be precisely priced while adjustments to existing pointing, mouldings and finishes remain missing.
Cost factors for this service
Moving pipework, repairing the substrate and selecting fittings and tiles affect the price. Include demolition waste and finishing outside the room where necessary.
Bring this to the discussion
Dimensions, photographs, existing layout and examples of preferred fittings and finishes.
Questions about the work
Can bathroom fittings go anywhere?
Not automatically. Drainage, floor construction and pipe routes must be suitable. Have the layout assessed before ordering products.
