What we do

What we do on a bathroom

Not every bathroom needs all of it, but this is the work JonesBuild does.

  1. Strip-out

    The old bathroom comes out.

  2. Walls and ceilings put right

    Stripped back, insulated, boarded and re-plastered where they need it.

  3. Plumbing and drainage

    The plumbing is part of the job, and so is drainage where it’s needed.

  4. Bath, shower, toilet and basin

    The new bathroom fitted.

  5. Tiling

    Tiling done as part of the job.

  6. Flooring

    The new floor laid.

  7. Painting and decorating

    So the room is finished, not just fitted.

  8. Electrics

    Any electrical work needed can be arranged as part of the job.
