Working in Reading

As well as Reading itself (RG1, RG2, RG4 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Lower Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne.

Reading is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We survey in Reading before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If your Reading home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

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.

What the job includes

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

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.

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

Rules that apply in England

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Reading: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Reading?

Bathroom fitting in Reading usually costs £2,500–£6,700 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover RG1 in Reading?

Yes. We cover all of Reading, including RG1, RG2, RG4, RG30 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Lower Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Reading?

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Reading?

Building control for Reading is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Will you fit a bathroom suite I bought online?

Yes. Send us the product list or links before the survey, and we will check sizes, wastes, valves and the cistern type against your room and plumbing. Missing or mismatched parts cause most fit-only delays, and they are far easier to sort before the start date than halfway through.
