Working in Northwich

We cover every part of Northwich, including CW9, and nearby Winsford (4.7 miles) and Warrington (9.6 miles).

Homes in and around Northwich vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Northwich home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. Landlords with flats or houses in Northwich can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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

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.

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.

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.
