Working in Stockport

As well as Stockport itself (SK1, SK2, SK3 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Bredbury, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme.

Across a large town like Stockport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Stockport home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. We survey in Stockport before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Stockport: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Stockport?

Bathroom fitting in Stockport usually costs £2,100–£5,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Stockport?

Building control for Stockport is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Stockport.

Is the home survey in Stockport really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

What should I have ready before the fitter arrives?

Have every product delivered, opened enough to check, and stored somewhere dry near the bathroom. Clear the room and the route to it, and expect the water and toilet to be off at times. If this is your only bathroom, plan where you will wash on the days the shower is out of use.
