Bathroom fitting in Yardley

Planning your new bathroom in Yardley

Work like this in Yardley rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Birmingham City Council is the authority.

New bathroom extract fans should achieve at least 15 litres per second.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.

Choices to weigh up in Yardley

Bath with shower over

Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

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.

Questions about bathroom fitting in Yardley

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.

How do I book a survey in Yardley?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new bathroom and arrange a time to visit.

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 Birmingham City Council need to approve my new bathroom?

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