Working in Plymouth

We cover every part of Plymouth, including PL1, PL2, PL3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Paignton (25.7 miles) and Newton Abbot (25.8 miles).

In a city the size of Plymouth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For homes in Plymouth 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 Plymouth bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.

Water across much of Devon is soft. 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

A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
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
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Bath, shower or both

Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.

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.

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Plymouth?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Plymouth?

Building control for Plymouth 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.

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.
