Working in Bodmin

We work right across Bodmin — PL31 — and in neighbouring St Austell and Newquay.

Bodmin gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey in Bodmin before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If your Bodmin home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

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.
