01

Water damage behind wet areas

Failed silicone, cracked grout and loose panels can let water reach plasterboard or timber. The repair depends on how far it has travelled and whether the structure is still sound.

02

Floors and walls that are not ready for the finish

Tile needs stable, flat surfaces. Older walls may be uneven and timber floors can flex. Levelling, boarding or local repair can add time but protects the new finish.

03

Services that need bringing into the plan

Old fans, unsuitable lighting circuits, weak isolation valves and awkward wastes often become visible during removal. Set a clear approval process for extra work before it begins.

What to remember

A small contingency and a clear variation process are safer than pretending hidden work can never appear.
