What the job includes
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
- Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
Making good
Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Who buys the materials
Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.
Rules that apply in Scotland
When you supply the products, you are responsible for them being complete, undamaged and suitable, and a claim for a faulty item goes to the retailer or manufacturer you bought it from. We are responsible for the fitting, which under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Products must also meet the water fittings rules where you live, including a maximum 6-litre flush for new WCs and backflow protection, so we raise anything that looks non-compliant before fitting it.
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, WCs and showers, whoever bought them. A like-for-like fit rarely needs a building warrant; a new layout that alters drainage may. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
