Working in Runcorn

As well as Runcorn itself (WA7 and WA8), we survey in Widnes, Halewood and Speke.

Homes in and around Runcorn vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether you are in Runcorn or elsewhere in Cheshire, layout options come with an itemised written quote. If your Runcorn bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

Decisions to make first

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

Bathroom design in Runcorn: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Runcorn?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Runcorn typically costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Runcorn?

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Runcorn?

Building control for Runcorn 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.

Can you design a bathroom around products I have already chosen?

Yes. Tell us the products at the survey and we will check they fit the room, the water pressure and the drainage before drawing the layout around them. If something will not work, such as a shower valve that needs more pressure than your system gives, we say so before you buy anything else.
