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.

In England, new circuits, consumer unit replacements and alterations in bathrooms near baths and showers are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Notification is made by a competent person scheme installer or through building control.
