Working in King's Lynn

In King's Lynn we cover PE30; we also cover Wisbech, 11.5 miles away, and March.

Homes in and around King's Lynn vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in King's Lynn before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. For King's Lynn bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Most of Norfolk 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

Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
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.

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.
