Working in Stevenage

In Stevenage we cover SG1 and SG2; we also cover Hitchin, 4.8 miles away, and Letchworth Garden City.

Stevenage has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Stevenage bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Stevenage, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

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
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

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

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.

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories.
