Working in Banstead

As well as Banstead itself (KT17, SM2 and SM7), we survey in Sutton, Ewell and Epsom.

In Banstead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have just bought a house in Banstead, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. Whether your Banstead bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Water across much of Surrey 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

Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Banstead?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Banstead?

Building control for Banstead 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.
