Working in Pitsea

As well as Pitsea itself (SS13, SS14 and SS16), we survey in Basildon, South Benfleet and Wickford.

Homes in and around Pitsea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Pitsea, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. Whether your Pitsea bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Supplies across most of Essex are very 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
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

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

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.
