Which towns do we cover in Essex?

Most of Essex has very hard water. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. We measure Southend-on-Sea bathrooms wall by wall before ordering, so the run is made for your room.

What the job includes

Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe

Decisions to make first

Carcass board

Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.

Unit depth

Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.

Tall storage

A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.

Door style

Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.

Rules that apply in England

Fitted furniture itself is not controlled by building regulations, but what goes into it is. A new WC must meet the water fittings rules, with a maximum 6-litre flush and backflow protection. Illuminated mirrors, cabinet lights and shaver points must suit the bathroom zones under BS 7671, on circuits with 30 mA RCD protection, and apart from shaver supply units, sockets must be at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1.

In England, wiring a lit mirror or plinth lights means altering a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, which is notifiable under Part P. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 cover the new WC and basin taps.

How long does fitted bathroom furniture take?

Most jobs take 1–3 working days on site once the products have arrived. We confirm a start date and a day-by-day plan when you approve the quote.

Is the water hard in Essex?

Does fitted furniture work in a small bathroom?

Yes, often better than separate pieces, because a slimline run along one wall turns the space above the cistern and around the basin into storage. Short-projection pans and compact basins keep the run shallow. See small bathrooms for layouts.
