Working in March

In March we cover PE15; we also cover Wisbech, 8.5 miles away, and Ely.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in March: free survey, written quote, one team. For homes in March where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible. Whether your March bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire 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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

Is the water hard in March?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in March?

Building control for March is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I need to be at home while the bathroom is fitted?

No, as long as we can get in each day and you are around at the start and at handover. You can give us a key or let us in each morning. We will need your water and power turned off at times, and we will tell you when.
