Working in Southport

We cover every part of Southport, including L20, L21, L22 and 5 more postcode districts, and nearby Formby (6.5 miles) and Lytham St Annes (6.7 miles).

Southport 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 Southport bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. For a small Southport bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. 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

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

Decisions to make first

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

Is the water hard in Southport?

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
