Working in Cowes

In Cowes we cover PO31; we also cover Newport, 4.2 miles away, and Ryde. Because Cowes is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cowes: free survey, written quote, one team. For Cowes homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days. Rented homes in Cowes are well served by slab doors and sealed worktops, which stand up to a change of tenants.

Most of the Isle of Wight has 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.

What the job includes

Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set

Decisions to make first

Cistern type

A back-to-wall pan can use a cistern that sits inside the WC unit, which is simple to service. A wall-hung WC needs a load-bearing frame built in behind the run.

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.

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.
