Working in Macclesfield

We cover every part of Macclesfield, including SK9, SK10 and SK11, and nearby Wilmslow (6.4 miles) and Bramhall (7 miles).

In Macclesfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Macclesfield before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. For homes in Macclesfield 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.

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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation

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.

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

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.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
