Working in Ilford

We work right across Ilford — E18, IG1, IG2 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Barking and Becontree.

In Ilford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Ilford bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. We survey in Ilford before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
