In Cheadle Hulme we cover SK3, SK7 and SK8; we also cover Bramhall, 1.6 miles away, and Stockport.

In Cheadle Hulme, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Cheadle Hulme and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. We measure Cheadle Hulme bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

Decisions to make first

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

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 Cheadle Hulme: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Cheadle Hulme?

Is the water hard in Cheadle Hulme?

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Cheadle Hulme?

Building control for Cheadle Hulme 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 new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design 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 Cheadle Hulme.

Which bathroom layout changes cost the most?

Moving the WC is usually the costliest single change, because it connects to the soil stack through a 110 mm waste that needs a steady fall. Forming a level-access shower floor and moving a door or wall also add significant cost. Moving a basin a short distance, or swapping a bath for a shower in the same space, costs much less.
