Working in Cirencester

In Cirencester we cover GL7; we also cover Stroud, 10 miles away, and Cheltenham.

Cirencester gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have just bought a house in Cirencester, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. In Cirencester flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Water across much of Gloucestershire 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

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.
