Working in Kirkby
As well as Kirkby itself (L32 and L33), we survey in Maghull, Litherland and Prescot.
Homes in and around Kirkby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Kirkby bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. Fitted furniture suits the many Kirkby bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. 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
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
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.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe 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.
