Working in Rayleigh

We cover every part of Rayleigh, including SS6, and nearby Hadleigh (2.3 miles) and South Benfleet (3 miles).

Homes in and around Rayleigh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Rayleigh home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. We survey in Rayleigh before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

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.

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.
