Working in Basingstoke

We work right across Basingstoke — RG21, RG22, RG23 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Tadley and Alton.

Basingstoke has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Basingstoke home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. Landlords with flats or houses in Basingstoke can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are 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

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early

Decisions to make first

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.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

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.
