Working in Brentwood

As well as Brentwood itself (CM13, CM14 and CM15), we survey in Billericay, Hornchurch and Romford.

In Brentwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Brentwood home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Brentwood, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Most of Essex has very 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

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.

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
