Working in Leicester

In Leicester we cover LE1, LE3, LE4 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Wigston Magna, 4.3 miles away, and Earl Shilton.

In a city the size of Leicester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Fitted furniture suits the many Leicester bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. Whether your Leicester bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Most of Leicestershire has 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
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
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling

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.

Furniture finish

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

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 Leicester?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Leicester?

Building control for Leicester 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.
