Which towns do we cover in Berkshire?
Water across much of Berkshire is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Reading home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.
What the job includes
- Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Decisions to make first
Delivery timing
Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.
Making good
Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Rules that apply in England
When you supply the products, you are responsible for them being complete, undamaged and suitable, and a claim for a faulty item goes to the retailer or manufacturer you bought it from. We are responsible for the fitting, which under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Products must also meet the water fittings rules where you live, including a maximum 6-litre flush for new WCs and backflow protection, so we raise anything that looks non-compliant before fitting it.
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.
