Working in Wigan

In Wigan we cover WN1, WN3 and WN5; we also cover Westhoughton, 4.6 miles away, and Golborne.

Wigan has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are in Wigan and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor. For Wigan homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Who handles building control for fitted bathroom furniture in Wigan?

How long does fitted bathroom furniture take?

Allow 1–3 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Wigan.

What is the difference between fitted and freestanding bathroom furniture?

Fitted furniture is built in as one continuous run, with a shared worktop and fillers cut to the walls. Freestanding furniture is a set of separate units that stand or hang on their own. Fitted gives more storage and hides pipework; freestanding is quicker to install and easier to change. Our guide to fitted vs freestanding furniture compares them.
