Working in Ross on Wye

We work right across Ross on Wye — HR9 — and in neighbouring Ledbury and Hereford.

Ross on Wye gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Ross on Wye bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If your Ross on Wye 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.

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
