Working in Oakham

In Oakham we cover LE15; we also cover Melton Mowbray, 9.4 miles away, and Stamford.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oakham: free survey, written quote, one team. Fitted furniture suits the many Oakham bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. For homes in Oakham where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Supplies across most of Rutland are 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
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

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.

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.

Fitted bathrooms in Oakham: questions

Is the water hard in Oakham?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Oakham?

Building control for Oakham 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.
