Working in Heywood

We cover every part of Heywood, including OL10, and nearby Middleton (3 miles) and Rochdale (3.2 miles).

In Heywood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords with flats or houses in Heywood can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Heywood bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make 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.

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.

Is the water hard in Heywood?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
