Working in Godalming

As well as Godalming itself (GU7), we survey in Guildford, Haslemere and Aldershot.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Godalming: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have just bought a house in Godalming, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. If your Godalming 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 Surrey 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
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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 Godalming?

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
