Working in St Helens

We work right across St Helens — WA9, WA10, WA11 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Prescot and Ashton in Makerfield.

St Helens has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your St Helens home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. Fit-only work in St Helens is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. 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

A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
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
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

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.

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.

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.
