Bathroom fitting in Walsall Wood

Planning your new bathroom in Walsall Wood

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 Walsall Wood, building control is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.

Which options suit homes in Walsall Wood?

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.

Bathroom fitting in Walsall Wood: common questions

How do I get ready for the bathroom fitters?

Clear the bathroom completely, including the cabinets and the airing cupboard if it's in the room. Make space on the landing or in a spare room for deliveries. Decide on things like towel radiator size and mirror position before first fix, because cables and pipes are placed early. Let us know about parking and access for the skip or waste.

Which postcodes in Walsall Wood do you work in?

We cover WS4, WS9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Walsall Wood, neighbouring Brownhills and Pelsall 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 Walsall Council need to approve my new bathroom?

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