Bathroom replacement programmes in a social home

How do we deliver it?

We fit humidity-controlled extract ventilation as part of the renewal, because a new bathroom without effective extract is a future damp and mould call.

Which rules apply in Charnwood?

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
