Working in Woking

As well as Woking itself (GU21 and GU22), we survey in Chertsey, Weybridge and Guildford.

Across a large town like Woking, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Woking 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. In Woking flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

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
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

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.

Bathroom renovation in Woking: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Woking?

Is the water hard in Woking?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Woking?

Building control for Woking 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.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
