Working in Westhoughton

We work right across Westhoughton — BL5 — and in neighbouring Atherton and Hindley.

In Westhoughton, 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 Westhoughton can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Westhoughton bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

Delivery timing

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

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.
