Working in North Watford

As well as North Watford itself (WD2, WD24 and WD25), we survey in Watford, Bushey and Rickmansworth.

In North Watford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in North Watford before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. Fit-only work in North Watford is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. 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 survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

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.

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.
