Frequently asked
Do I need to remove flooring myself before they arrive?
No, strip-out is normally part of the job, but clearing personal belongings and furniture from the room is usually down to you.
Should I turn off the water before the first day?
Isolation is typically handled by the plumber at the right point in the sequence; turning it off yourself beforehand isn't usually necessary.

Working out what is realistic in your space?
Room dimensions, the position of the window and where the waste leaves the building decide most of it. Send those and we can be specific.
