Working in Stockport

As well as Stockport itself (SK1, SK2, SK3 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Bredbury, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme.

Across a large town like Stockport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We survey in Stockport before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. For homes in Stockport 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.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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

First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

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.

More about fitted bathrooms

Fitted bathrooms in Stockport: questions

How much should I budget for a fitted bathroom in Stockport?

A fitted bathroom in Stockport usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Stockport?

Building control for Stockport 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 Stockport.

Is the home survey in Stockport 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.

How do you get to the cistern behind fitted furniture?

Concealed cisterns are reached through the flush plate opening or a removable panel in the WC unit. We fit an isolation valve so the cistern can be serviced without draining the system.
