Working in Wellingborough

As well as Wellingborough itself (NN8), we survey in Rushden, Kettering and Northampton.

Homes in and around Wellingborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Water across much of Northamptonshire is 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Wellingborough?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
