Working in Chester
In Chester we cover CH1; we also cover Ellesmere Port, 6.1 miles away, and Garston.
Chester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For homes in Chester 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. If your Chester bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Worktop
Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.
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.
