Working in Hastings

In Hastings we cover TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Bexhill-on-Sea, 4.8 miles away, and Hailsham.

Hastings has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fit-only work in Hastings is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. Landlords with flats or houses in Hastings can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Most of East Sussex has hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

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.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

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.
