Working in Chelmsford

We cover every part of Chelmsford, including CM1, and nearby Billericay (7.7 miles) and Witham (8.5 miles).

In a city the size of Chelmsford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For homes in Chelmsford 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. Fitted furniture suits the many Chelmsford bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

Water across much of Essex is very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
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
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves

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.

Furniture finish

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

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.
