Working in Newmarket

We cover every part of Newmarket, including CB8, and nearby Haverhill (11.3 miles) and Ely (12.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newmarket: free survey, written quote, one team. Fit-only work in Newmarket is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. We survey in Newmarket before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire 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

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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
