Working in St Austell

We work right across St Austell — PL25 — and in neighbouring Bodmin and Truro.

St Austell gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords with flats or houses in St Austell can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. We survey in St Austell before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

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

Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing

Decisions to make 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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

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.
