Working in Portslade

As well as Portslade itself (BN3, BN41 and BN42), we survey in Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea and Brighton.

Portslade gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fit-only work in Portslade is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. If your Portslade home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Portslade: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Portslade?

Bathroom fitting in Portslade usually costs £2,500–£6,700 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Portslade?

Building control for Portslade is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Portslade.

Is the home survey in Portslade really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

What should I have ready before the fitter arrives?

Have every product delivered, opened enough to check, and stored somewhere dry near the bathroom. Clear the room and the route to it, and expect the water and toilet to be off at times. If this is your only bathroom, plan where you will wash on the days the shower is out of use.
