Do I need building control for bathroom work?

Rules vary depending on the scope and location. It is sensible to discuss the work with your Bathroom Fitter and check local requirements if needed. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Bathroom Fitter can plan the right approach.

Will the work be messy?

There can be dust and disruption during a refit. Ask how the Bathroom Fitter will protect nearby rooms and manage clean up. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

What if I find hidden damage for your property?

If hidden issues are found, the Bathroom Fitter should explain options before proceeding. Extra repairs may be needed. Photos and measurements can help the Bathroom Fitter give clearer guidance. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
