Working in Swindon

In Swindon we cover SN1, SN2, SN3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Calne, 12.7 miles away, and Cirencester.

Swindon is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Whether your Swindon bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. A renovation survey in Swindon looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire 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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
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
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Swindon: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Swindon?

A bathroom renovation in Swindon usually costs £7,600–£15,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover SN1 in Swindon?

Is the water hard in Swindon?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Swindon?

Building control for Swindon 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.
