Working in Kendal

We cover every part of Kendal, including LA8 and LA9, and nearby Morecambe (18.4 miles) and Lancaster (19.5 miles).

In Kendal, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Kendal before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Kendal, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Most of Cumbria is supplied with soft water. 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

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.

Delivery timing

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

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.
