Working in Stamford

We work right across Stamford — PE9 — and in neighbouring Oakham and Peterborough.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stamford: free survey, written quote, one team. In Stamford flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If your Stamford 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 Lincolnshire 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

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
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

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.

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.
