Working in Colne

In Colne we cover BB8 and BB9; we also cover Nelson, 2.1 miles away, and Burnley.

Colne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Colne home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. Landlords with flats or houses in Colne can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Water across much of Lancashire is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Tiling

Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.

Delivery timing

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

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

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. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
