Working in Stretford

We work right across Stretford — M17, M32 and M41 — and in neighbouring Old Trafford and Urmston.

Homes in and around Stretford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Stretford home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. Landlords with flats or houses in Stretford can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

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

A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early

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.

Is the water hard in Stretford?

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.
