Rochdale has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We survey in Rochdale before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Fitted furniture suits the many Rochdale bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste

Decisions to make first

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

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 home survey in Rochdale really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover OL11 in Rochdale?

Yes. We cover all of Rochdale, including OL11, OL12, OL15 and OL16, and nearby Heywood, Royton and Middleton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
