Working in Chatham

As well as Chatham itself (ME1, ME4 and ME7), we survey in Rochester, Gillingham and Strood.

Chatham 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 Chatham before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Fitted furniture suits the many Chatham bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

Water across much of Kent is 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
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

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

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.

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.

Fitted bathrooms in Chatham: questions

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Chatham?

A fitted bathroom in Chatham usually costs £7,300–£13,500 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.

Is the water hard in Chatham?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Chatham?

Building control for Chatham 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 Chatham.

Can I supply my own bathroom suite?

Yes. We can fit a suite you have already bought, and quote for the fitting only. We will check the product list at the survey, because missing parts, the wrong waste or an incompatible cistern are the usual causes of delays on fit-only jobs.
