Fitting and design
A pre-start checklist for a bathroom renovation
Most disputes start with something that was assumed rather than agreed. A short written checklist before work starts removes almost all of them.
Design decisions worth getting right
Confirm who supplies what, where the waste goes, what happens if hidden defects appear, and how variations will be priced.
Agree working hours, parking, water shut-off windows and which WC the household will use during the works.
Where jobs go wrong
Confirm who supplies what, where the waste goes, what happens if hidden defects appear, and how variations will be priced.
Frequently asked
Should everything be on paper?
Yes, scope, exclusions and the layout drawing. Verbal changes are where projects go wrong.
What if hidden problems appear?
They should be reported, photographed and priced as a variation before the work continues.
Ready to get the room measured up?
Photos of the existing room and the position of the soil stack help enormously before a visit.
