Working in Trowbridge

We cover every part of Trowbridge, including BA14, and nearby Westbury (4.2 miles) and Melksham (4.8 miles).

In Trowbridge, 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 Trowbridge, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. A renovation survey in Trowbridge 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
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
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.

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.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?
