Working in Lower Earley
As well as Lower Earley itself (RG2, RG5 and RG6), we survey in Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne.
Homes in and around Lower Earley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Lower Earley property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. If your Lower Earley home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.
Supplies across most of Berkshire 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 full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Decisions to make first
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
