Questions abouta renovation.

Usually, yes. Moving the shower, basin and toilet is possible, provided the pipework and drainage allow it. The drainage is the deciding factor: it needs fall. During the consultation we look at what the structure and the existing connections make possible.

Usually yes. What decides it is the height of the floor build-up and the fall the drain needs: the water has to be able to run towards the drain. During the intake we look at how much build-up height there is and whether a linear drain fits. The wet zone is then waterproofed before any tiling starts.

Yes. We have built a complete bathroom inside an existing attic room. It involves more than a bathroom that already exists: the floor and wall build-up, the insulation, the standing height under the slope and the route the plumbing and drainage have to take downstairs. During the intake we assess what the structure and the existing connections allow.

Yes. You choose the tiles, the sanitary ware, the cabinetry and the taps yourself. We think along with you about what works well technically and practically in your room — for example about tile format in a small bathroom, or about the shower drain with a level-access walk-in shower.

Yes. We install electric underfloor heating with its own thermostat. It is tested before the screed goes over it. The underfloor heating may only be switched on once the adhesive and grout have cured sufficiently; which curing time applies depends on the system and materials used, and we tell you at handover.

Yes. Plumbing, drainage, electrics, ventilation and underfloor heating are part of the renovation. The pipework is pressure-tested and the electrics checked before the walls are closed. You don't need to bring in separate parties for that.

After the demolition we inspect what has become visible: damp, mould, the structure and the condition of the pipework and electrics. If we come across something that needs attention, we discuss it with you before building further — including what it means for the schedule and the costs.

The floor, the shower and the wet walls get a watertight layer before any tiling goes on. Corners, the joint between floor and wall and the pipe penetrations get extra attention, because that is where leaks start. Tiles and grout are not waterproofing in themselves.

Usually you can, but the bathroom itself cannot be used while the work is going on. If it is the only bathroom in the home, that's an important point to discuss in advance when the planning is drawn up.

Yes, removing the demolition and construction waste is part of the job. In an apartment we agree in advance how that will work in practice, including the routes through the building and any arrangements with the VvE.
