Interior Work Procedure in Aoba Ward, Yokohama City

Bathroom Replacement Work

1. Demolition of Existing Bathroom

We will remove the existing bathroom, bathtub, tiles, base materials, and unnecessary plumbing! After demolition, we will prepare the necessary base adjustments and plumbing work for the installation of the new unit bath.

2. Preliminary Plumbing

We will proceed with the preliminary plumbing! This involves laying out the water supply, hot water supply, drainage, and reheating pipes in advance.

3. Installation of Insulation Material

We will install insulation material! This work is done to reduce cold and condensation around the bathroom by installing insulation in the visible exterior walls and partition walls after the bathroom demolition.

4. Installation of New Bathroom

Finally, we will assemble the new unit bath!

There are five main steps in assembling the new unit bath.
① Assembly of the floor, bathtub, walls, ceiling, and entrance door
② Connection of water supply, drainage, hot water supply, and reheating
③ Connection of ventilation fans and lighting
④ Installation of the bathroom entrance frame
⑤ Trial operation and leak check
※ When replacing the bathroom entrance frame, the wallpaper in the washroom may also be affected, so
there is a possibility that the wallpaper in the washroom will also be replaced in the same work.

This is an old-fashioned tiled bath. Since it is built on-site, it can be prone to leaks as it ages.

Guidelines for Interior Renovation

1. Wallpaper (Cross) Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Wallpaper deteriorates depending on usage frequency and environment, so it is advisable to consider replacement every 10 to 15 years. Especially in humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms, or in places with strong sunlight, fading, dirt, and mold can develop more quickly.

2. Flooring Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Flooring tends to show wear and scratches, so it is good to consider renovation every 10 to 15 years. Particularly in households that frequently move heavy furniture or have pets, wear can progress more quickly. It is important to not only repair the surface of the flooring but also check the condition underneath and renovate as necessary.

3. Toilet Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Toilets generally have a replacement guideline of about 10 years.

4. Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Kitchens and bathrooms are used frequently, so their equipment can become outdated or deteriorate. Especially, sinks, stoves, and bathtubs can deteriorate quickly, so it is advisable to consider renovation every 10 to 20 years. Additionally, replacing with the latest equipment can improve usability and energy efficiency.

5. Lighting and Outlet Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Replacing lighting fixtures and outlets is typically done when they look old or their functionality declines. Incorporating the latest LED lighting and smart features can enhance convenience and energy efficiency.

6. Door and Window Renovation

  • 15 to 20 years
    Door and window renovations are considered when there are difficulties in opening and closing or when insulation performance declines. Particularly, replacing insulation materials or double windows can significantly improve energy efficiency.

7. Air Conditioning Equipment (Air Conditioner and Heating) Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Air conditioning and heating equipment may experience a decline in performance after about 10 years, so it is recommended to replace or maintain them every 10 to 15 years. Especially, air conditioners tend to accumulate dirt in filters and interiors, leading to reduced efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Updating Entire Interior)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Renovating the entire interior of the house (walls, flooring, ceilings, equipment, etc.) is typically done every 20 to 30 years.

Points to Consider When Deciding on Renovation Timing

Changes in Lifestyle

It is good to create opportunities to review the interior according to changes in family structure or work and hobbies.

Equipment or Functionality Issues

For example, if heating and cooling are not effective, or if the usability of the kitchen or bathroom has declined, these are signs that it may be time for renovation.

Aesthetics and Comfort

If dirt, scratches, or fading become noticeable, or if the interior feels outdated, it is a good time to consider renovation.
