Working in Lower Earley
We work right across Lower Earley — RG2, RG5 and RG6 — and in neighbouring Reading and Wokingham.
In Lower Earley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For listed and period properties in Lower Earley, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Lower Earley flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.
Most of Berkshire has hard water. 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
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Decisions to make first
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
Pipe material
Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Rules that apply in England
In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.
