Working in High Wycombe
In High Wycombe we cover HP11, HP12 and HP13; we also cover Marlow, 4.3 miles away, and Amersham.
High Wycombe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In High Wycombe flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. Whether your High Wycombe bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.
Most of Buckinghamshire 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
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- 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.
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
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.
