Working in Sevenoaks

We cover every part of Sevenoaks, including TN13, and nearby Tonbridge (6.5 miles) and Swanley (8.6 miles).

In Sevenoaks, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Sevenoaks before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. Landlords with flats or houses in Sevenoaks can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Most of Kent 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

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.
