Working in Stroud

We cover every part of Stroud, including GL5, GL6 and GL10, and nearby Gloucester (8.2 miles) and Cirencester (10 miles).

Homes in and around Stroud vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A renovation survey in Stroud looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If your Stroud 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.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire 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

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
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

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.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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 Stroud?

Building control for Stroud 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?

Allow 8–15 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Stroud.

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.
