One trade, not three.
A bathroom refit usually means a plumber, an electrician and someone to tile. Ian does the first two and the heating, so there is one person to ring and one bill.
The parts of a bathroom job
- PipeworkHot, cold and waste rerouted for the new layout, and old lead or steel pipework replaced while the floor is up.
- The suiteBath, basin, toilet and shower tray fitted and connected, with the taps and wastes.
- ShowersMixer or electric showers, with the pressure checked first so the shower you choose will work with your water supply.
- Heated towel railPlumbed into the central heating, or with an electric element so it works in summer with the heating off.
- ElectricsThe shower circuit, extractor fan, shaver socket and lighting, done and certified by an NICEIC Domestic Installer.
- Tiling and finishingIan does the tiling and decorating himself, so the whole room is finished by one person and there is no waiting on another trade.

The work
Strip out, pipework, first-fix electrics, the suite, tiling, second-fix electrics, decorating and testing. A full bathroom typically takes 7 to 10 days.
Handover
Everything run and tested, and the electrical certificate issued.
Wet rooms, en suites and downstairs toilets
Adding an en suite or a downstairs toilet is mostly pipework and drainage, which is the part Ian does. He will say early whether the waste can be run where you want it.
For anyone finding the bath hard to get into, a level-access shower or wet room removes the step. The floor has to be right for it, and Ian checks that first.
We were very pleased with the excellent standard of workmanship and attention to detail carried out by Ian.

Do you do small plumbing jobs?
