Working in Stroud

In Stroud we cover GL5, GL6 and GL10; we also cover Gloucester, 8.2 miles away, and Cirencester.

In Stroud, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stroud home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Stroud before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. 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 free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Stroud?

Building control for Stroud 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.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Stroud.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
