Working in Rayleigh

In Rayleigh we cover SS6; we also cover Hadleigh, 2.3 miles away, and South Benfleet.

Homes in and around Rayleigh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Rayleigh bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. We survey in Rayleigh before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

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

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
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

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

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.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Rayleigh?

Building control for Rayleigh 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.

How long does a fitted bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Rayleigh.

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.
