Working in Atherton

We work right across Atherton — BL5, M29 and M46 — and in neighbouring Tyldesley and Westhoughton.

Atherton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Atherton bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Atherton bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are 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

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
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

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.

Worktop

Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to 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 Atherton?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Atherton?

Building control for Atherton 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.

Do I need to be at home while the bathroom is fitted?

No, as long as we can get in each day and you are around at the start and at handover. You can give us a key or let us in each morning. We will need your water and power turned off at times, and we will tell you when.
