Toilets out of use during a bathroom fitting

Question

When having a new bathroom fitted, will the toilets in my home be out of use until the work is complete? Will it only apply to one floor for example? I am just thinking about how the pipework could be affected by the installation work and what exactly will be involved. Thanks for your time!

By buildings regs you have to be left with a working toilet after each day of work by tradesmen.

Key · Answer

In most circumstances we can we fit the toilet after each working day to ensure you’re able to use it. This is all dependent on the type of work being carried out and to what extent the bathroom layout has been changed.

Most professional tradesmen will always plan to leave you with a functioning wc, they should discuss the logistics with you as we have a commitment to ensure the customers basic requirements.

Totally depends on the situation but I always try to leave the toilet in for as along as possible for the customer or swap it straight away so there is one there to use

Paul · Answer

The customer should not be left without a working toilet no, best to get a plumber who tiles.  the pipework or any modification or moving position will be a mornings work

Jason · Answer

No you can just isolate the toilet in the bathroom in which work is carried out on

Andrew · Answer

No, at least one toilet should be left  fully working, even if the only toilet you have is the bathroom being worked on, there may be one night where you may not be able to use the toilet due to new flooring i.e. latex screed or tiles only just been fixed, I would arrange for that night to booked a hotel or stay with family within your own bubble (COVID)

Christopher · Answer

Any good bathroom fitter will never leave you over night without a toilet. From my experience the toilet should be the last thing out and the first thing back in.

Den · Answer

I always leave the customer with a toilet, except for the hour or two it takes to remove the old and refit the new.

Paul · Answer

Definitely not. The toilet can always be put back temporary.
