Working in Maidstone

In Maidstone we cover ME14, ME15 and ME16; we also cover Chatham, 7.8 miles away, and Rochester.

Across a large town like Maidstone, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Fitted furniture suits the many Maidstone bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. We survey in Maidstone before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

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

Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
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

Decisions to make first

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

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 water hard in Maidstone?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Maidstone?

Building control for Maidstone 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.

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.
