Working in Farnborough

We work right across Farnborough — GU14 — and in neighbouring Camberley and Aldershot.

In Farnborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Farnborough bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. For listed and period properties in Farnborough, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Supplies across most of Hampshire 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

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
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

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 Farnborough?

Building control for Farnborough 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.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
