Working in Kettering

As well as Kettering itself (NN15 and NN16), we survey in Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden.

Homes in and around Kettering vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Kettering before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Kettering, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are 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

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
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

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.

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.
