Bathroom Renovation Weybridge

A bathroom renovation is a drainage and waterproofing job with tiling on top. The parts you cannot see decide whether it lasts. We survey before we price, and where a floor or a wall is altered structurally we appoint the structural engineer. Free quotation, no obligation.

For Weybridge, on London-derived ranges a full bathroom refit typically costs £6,000 to £20,000 or more; Surrey work generally runs below that. GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Weybridge: we carry the tanking, plumbing and tiling as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

How the job runs

1. Free design visit at your Weybridge home and an itemised quote.
2. Strip-out, then first-fix plumbing and electrics.
3. Tanking to the wet areas, then tiling.
4. Sanitaryware and second fix, with notifiable electrics certified by a registered electrician.

Thames Water is the body to deal with on drainage

Thames Water Utilities Ltd is the undertaker responsible for surface water drainage from development via adopted sewers in Elmbridge. It is Thames Water you deal with over connections and over building near a public sewer in Weybridge. A like for like refit will not reach that. Moving a soil stack to a different wall can, and so can adding a ground floor shower room close to the sewer line. We check where the drainage runs at the survey, so the answer is known before anything is specified or ordered.

Housing in Weybridge

Weybridge's housing, as the Council Tax list records it, is about 10,590 homes: 63% houses, 37% flats, with 14% pre-1919, 9% interwar and 74% built since 1945. 28% of homes here are detached; a detached house in Weybridge can add a soil stack for an en suite.

A bathroom in a basement runs into the flood rules

In Flood Zone 2 and Flood Zone 3a in Elmbridge, self contained residential basements and bedrooms at basement level are not permitted, although other basements, basement extensions and basement conversions may be considered. In Flood Zone 3b, basements, basement extensions and conversions of basements to a higher vulnerability classification or to self contained units are not permitted.

Whether that reaches your address depends on the zone. The Environment Agency runs a flood warning area called River Wey at Weybridge, covering the River Wey at Weybridge, Wey Meadows and Hamm Court. A basement shower room is a different proposition on that ground from higher land in the town. Establish the zone before anyone draws it.

Working in the older houses on Portmore Park Road

Elmbridge Borough Council characterises Portmore Park Road as very late Victorian and Edwardian houses on large plots, set out on an informal layout of roads. In a house of that age the floor structure under a bathroom, the existing waste runs and the wall build ups are found by opening up rather than assumed. We lift a board and look before we commit to a price. If a joist has to be altered to take a new soil pipe, the structural engineer is appointed for it. That is slower at the quotation stage and cheaper at the end of the job.
