Working in Colchester
We work right across Colchester — CO1, CO2, CO3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Sudbury and Clacton-on-Sea.
Colchester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Landlords with flats or houses in Colchester can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Colchester bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.
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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
