Working in Wilmslow

In Wilmslow we cover M90, SK8 and SK9; we also cover Bramhall, 3.4 miles away, and Cheadle Hulme.

Homes in and around Wilmslow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Wilmslow home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense. For listed and period properties in Wilmslow, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Water across much of Cheshire is moderately 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

Decisions to make first

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

Is the home survey in Wilmslow really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover M90 in Wilmslow?

Yes. We cover all of Wilmslow, including M90, SK8 and SK9, and nearby Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
