Working in Runcorn

We work right across Runcorn — WA7 and WA8 — and in neighbouring Widnes and Halewood.

In Runcorn, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Runcorn bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. If your Runcorn 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
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
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

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

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.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Runcorn?

Building control for Runcorn 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.
