Working in Aylesbury

We cover every part of Aylesbury, including HP19, HP20 and HP21, and nearby Leighton Buzzard (9.6 miles) and Berkhamsted (11.3 miles).

Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Aylesbury home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense. If you have just bought a house in Aylesbury, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire 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 back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

Decisions to make first

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Aylesbury?

Building control for Aylesbury 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.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
