Please see below a general guide to most installations. Each step of the job can be adjusted to suit any specific requirements of each customer.

1 – Floor and wall protection

All installations start by setting down the appropriate floor and wall protection for the adjoining areas and walkways from the area being worked in. This is typically done with a combination of dust sheets, plastic stair and carpet protectors, hardboard, and black plastic corrugated protection sheets. These will either remain in place for the duration of the job or be set down and removed at the beginning and end of each day, depending on each customer’s requirements.

2 – Disposal of waste

There are three options when it comes to waste disposal.

• A skip of the appropriate size can be delivered to the job (set on driveway protection sheets or placed on the road). This will be removed again upon completion, and any spare space can be used for additional rubbish the customer may have.
• Or, the customer may choose to have the rubbish bagged up in rubble sacks and removed daily. This option is generally used when there is no room for a skip, or the customer wants to avoid a build-up of rubbish accumulating at their property.
• The third option is that customers dispose of the rubbish themselves. This is often preferred by those who want to keep costs as low as possible and have access to a disposal facility.

3 – Removal and fabrications

The installation will normally need a team of tradesmen to perform the initial disconnection, make the area safe, and remove the old products.

The next steps require a combination of trades, all carefully managed, to re-fabricate the new room as per the agreed design.

Any unforeseen issues that arise upon removal of the old products will be discussed and repriced on-site with the client. Clients are always informed that structural, damp, or dry rot issues not identified on the initial design consultations are impossible to allow for at the quotation stage without disproportionately inflating the cost of the job. But, should these become apparent, our aim is always to be as fair possible. These types of issues are more common in older houses and are generally picked up on the initial inspections, so we may advise a contingency amount be set into the budget to cover a worst-case scenario, if we suspect a complication may arise.

4 – Final adjustments

As the room nears completion we are always happy to accommodate customer alterations – people often adjust things when they see them in the unfolding process and we will always work patiently to make changes required.

5 – The finished product

Upon completion, we will clean all the areas that we have worked in and around in, and then leave you to enjoy your new room. We will then typically do a follow-up visit a week or so later, to check everything is working correctly and sort out any small issues that may have become apparent, such as adjusting underfloor heating timers.
