Working in Abingdon

As well as Abingdon itself (OX13 and OX14), we survey in Didcot, Cowley and Oxford.

In Abingdon, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Abingdon, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part. If your Abingdon home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Most of Oxfordshire has 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

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
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

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.
