Working in Eccles
In Eccles we cover M6, M17 and M30; we also cover Swinton, 1.3 miles away, and Salford.
Homes in and around Eccles vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Eccles bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. For homes in Eccles 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.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- 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
- 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.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe 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.
