A bedroom renovation can take as long as a full building project to complete, but can be completed in a much shorter space of time if planned correctly. This is because most bedroom renovations are completed in a strict order in order to prevent delays.
Stripping Out and Prep
Strip out the old furniture, flooring and any fitted storage to create a clear working area. The removal of the old items will typically take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size of the room and the amount of work required to prepare the room for the renovation.
Plastering and Drying Time
If your bedroom is requiring new plasterwork then it is best to allow a week or so for the plaster to dry prior to the flooring underlayment being laid or the decorating being undertaken. Most problems with bubbling paint and warping boards are caused by rushing this part of the bedroom renovation.
Fitting Joinery and Storage
Installing wardrobes and other storage solutions in the newly plastered bedroom walls is a vital part of the bedroom renovation. If you are looking for Bedroom Renovations, see //www.thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk/bedroom-renovations/.
Decorating
Painting and wallpapering can take around 4 hours for each coat to dry, and you should allow a full night’s sleep for the paint to dry before you can put up any shelves or hang any pictures on the walls. Normally two coats of paint are used on the walls and ceiling.
Final Fixes
Allowing for Overruns
Bedroom renovations planned in the right order avoid most delays, but drying times and scope changes are still the usual culprits when a job runs long. Check whether bedroom work needs building regulations approval before you begin, and build a two-to-three-day buffer per trade into your schedule from the start.
Allowing for Overruns
Where work is planned in the right order most delays are caused by drying times and changes to the scope of works. Therefore it is wise to check if bedroom work will require approval under the building regulations and to build in a two-to-three day buffer for each trade required to complete the works.
