Working in Gillingham

In Gillingham we cover ME7 and ME8; we also cover Chatham, 1.1 miles away, and Rochester.

Across a large town like Gillingham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Landlords with flats or houses in Gillingham can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Gillingham, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Supplies across most of Kent 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early

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.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Gillingham: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Gillingham?

How long does bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Gillingham.

Is the home survey in Gillingham 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 ME7 and ME8 in Gillingham?

Yes. We cover all of Gillingham, including ME7 and ME8, and nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Who is responsible if a product I supplied is faulty?

If you bought the product, a fault with it is a matter for the retailer or manufacturer that sold it to you. We are responsible for our fitting work. If a fault shows up during fitting, we stop, show you, and help you describe it to the seller; fitting a replacement part can add labour, which we agree with you first.
