Working in Paignton

As well as Paignton itself (TQ2, TQ3 and TQ4), we survey in Torquay, Brixham and Newton Abbot.

Homes in and around Paignton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fit-only work in Paignton is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. We survey in Paignton before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Water across much of Devon 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
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.
