Working in Stretford

We cover every part of Stretford, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Old Trafford (1.3 miles) and Urmston (1.5 miles).

Homes in and around Stretford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Stretford 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. Whether your Stretford bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
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

Decisions to make first

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.
