Working in Wickford
We work right across Wickford — SS11 and SS12 — and in neighbouring Pitsea and Rayleigh.
In Wickford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For homes in Wickford 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 Wickford bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.
Supplies across most of Essex are 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
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
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.
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.
