Working in Bedford
As well as Bedford itself (MK40 and MK41), we survey in Kempston, Ampthill and Biggleswade.
Bedford has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Bedford home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. For Bedford bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.
Supplies across most of Bedfordshire are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.
