Working in Taunton

We cover every part of Taunton, including TA1, and nearby Bridgwater (8.9 miles) and Burnham-on-Sea (16.1 miles).

In Taunton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Taunton bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. If your Taunton home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Most of Somerset 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
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early

Decisions to make first

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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

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. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
