Working in Shirley

We cover every part of Shirley, including B28, B90 and B91, and nearby Solihull (1.6 miles) and Acocks Green (2.7 miles).

Homes in and around Shirley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether you are in Shirley or elsewhere in the West Midlands, layout options come with an itemised written quote. If you are in Shirley and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. 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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one

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.

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

Building control for Shirley 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 Shirley.

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
