Fitting and design
Keeping the rest of the house liveable during a refit
At a glance
- Floor protection along the route, a dust screen at the door and dust extraction on cutting tools handle most of the mess at source.
- Cutting tiles outside where practical keeps the fine silica dust out of the living space entirely.

Questions we get asked
Can I stay in the house?
Almost always, provided there is another WC or arrangements are made for the days the room is out of use.
Is the mess unavoidable?
Some dust is, but the difference between a controlled and an uncontrolled site is planning, not luck.

Want the awkward part looked at first?
Access, existing pipework and floor build-up are the things that change a plan. Those get checked before anything is promised.
