Protection and removal
The team should protect access routes and agree how waste and deliveries will be managed. Water and electrical supplies are made safe before the old suite and finishes are removed.
Opening the room can reveal the true condition of services and surfaces. Any change to the agreed work should be explained before extra work begins.
First-fix services and preparation
Pipework, drainage, electrical cables and ventilation are positioned before walls and floors are closed. Accurate first-fix work ensures the chosen furniture and shower equipment fit correctly later.
Walls and floors are repaired, levelled or strengthened as required. Wet areas receive a suitable waterproofing approach before decorative finishes are installed.
- Plumbing and drainage
- Electrical and extraction routes
- Floor and wall preparation
- Waterproofing in wet zones
Surfaces, furniture and fittings
Panels, tiles and flooring are set out to avoid awkward cuts and untidy joints. Furniture, sanitaryware and shower components are then installed against the prepared surfaces.
The correct order protects finished work and keeps important service access available. Sealants and adhesives also need the drying time recommended by the manufacturer.
Testing and handover
Water supplies, drainage, controls, extraction and electrical items should be checked. Doors, drawers, screens and fittings are adjusted before the room is cleaned.
At handover, ask how to operate and care for the main products. You should also know where isolation points are and who to contact if a concern appears.
