Working in Bideford

In Bideford we cover EX39; we also cover Barnstaple, 7.9 miles away, and Tiverton.

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

Supplies across most of Devon are 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
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
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

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.
