Working in Shirley

In Shirley we cover B28, B90 and B91; we also cover Solihull, 1.6 miles away, and Acocks Green.

Homes in and around Shirley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fit-only work in Shirley is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. If your Shirley home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste

Decisions to make 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.

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.

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.
