Working in Gillingham
As well as Gillingham itself (ME7 and ME8), we survey in Chatham, Rochester and Strood.
Gillingham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Gillingham bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. Whether your Gillingham bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.
Most of Kent has very hard water. 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
- 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
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
