Bathroom fitting in Heath Hayes

What should you know before starting in Heath Hayes?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Heath Hayes, building control is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.

Electrical work near a bath or shower is often notifiable under Part P.

Choices to weigh up in Heath Hayes

Like-for-like refit

The new suite goes where the old one was, using the existing water and waste positions. It's the quickest and most affordable option, and it's often all a bathroom needs. Tiling, flooring, furniture and the shower choice can all change completely while the plumbing stays essentially the same.

Panels or tiles

Large-format tiles look smart but need flat walls, careful setting out and waterproofing in the shower area. Waterproof wall panels go up faster, have fewer grout lines and can be fitted over sound existing surfaces. Many bathrooms mix the two, with panels in the shower and tiles elsewhere to suit both budget and look.

Before you book in Heath Hayes

What if it's our only bathroom?

We plan around it. The toilet can usually be refitted temporarily at the end of most days, or put back early in the programme, so you're not without one overnight. The shower and bath will be out of use for most of the job, so it's worth arranging somewhere to shower, with family or at a gym, for a week or so.

Which postcodes in Heath Hayes do you work in?

We cover WS12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Heath Hayes, neighbouring Hednesford and Cannock are covered too.

What guarantees come with a new bathroom?

Baths, trays, toilets, taps, showers and furniture carry manufacturers' guarantees, and their terms are set out in your quote. Some shower manufacturers ask for an annual service or a registration after installation, and we'll tell you if yours does. You'll receive the electrical certificate for any notifiable work. If anything we fitted isn't right, call us.

Does Cannock Chase District Council need to approve my new bathroom?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Heath Hayes is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
