Working in Whitehaven

As well as Whitehaven itself (CA28), we survey in Workington, Barrow in Furness and Penrith.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Whitehaven: free survey, written quote, one team. For homes in Whitehaven 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 you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Whitehaven bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Most of Cumbria is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Whitehaven?

Good fitted furniture uses moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges and a worktop sealed to the wall. It is designed for a bathroom, but standing water should still be wiped up. Ask for the carcass material and edge banding on the quote.
