Working in Lower Earley

We work right across Lower Earley — RG2, RG5 and RG6 — and in neighbouring Reading and Wokingham.

In Lower Earley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Lower Earley before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Lower Earley bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Most of Berkshire 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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
