Working in Harpenden

We work right across Harpenden — AL5 — and in neighbouring St Albans and Luton.

Homes in and around Harpenden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Harpenden home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. We survey in Harpenden before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. 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

A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Harpenden: questions

What is the price of bathroom fitting in Harpenden?

Bathroom fitting in Harpenden usually costs £2,300–£6,400 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Harpenden 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.

Do you cover AL5 in Harpenden?

Yes. We cover all of Harpenden, including AL5, and nearby St Albans, Luton and Hemel Hempstead. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Harpenden?

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.
