First-fix plumbing
Hot and cold supplies routed cleanly, correctly-sized wastes, appropriate falls (typically 1:40 to 1:80 depending on run), and isolation valves on every fixture. Pipe runs are pressure-tested before anything is covered up.

Service Overview
The plain-English version.
What it is
Full and partial bathroom installations: strip-out, first-fix plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware installation and second-fix. En-suites, main bathrooms and wet rooms.
Who it's for
Homeowners renovating, landlords upgrading to attract better tenants, and anyone whose existing bathroom leaks, dates, or simply doesn't fit the family anymore.
When you need it
When layout no longer works, when tiling and grout have failed, when the shower drips into the ceiling below, or as part of a wider refurbishment.
Why use a professional
Bathrooms are the highest-consequence room in the house — small mistakes leak into the room below. Getting the first-fix right is worth every pound.
Left Too Long?Small problem now.
Small problem now.
Big bill later.
The cheapest time to deal with a plumbing or heating fault is almost always now. Water damage, gas issues and system stress compound quickly — the invoice grows with them.
If you leave it
- › Failed grout and silicone let water into substrates — you eventually replace floors and ceilings, not just tiles.
- › Poor falls on shower trays cause pooling and slow drainage — hairline cracks follow in the tile bed.
- › Under-specified extract fans allow condensation to peel decoration on landings and stairs.
- › Old lead or galvanised supply runs behind tiled walls become tomorrow's emergency call-out.
Common DIY mistakes
- › Tiling straight onto plasterboard in wet zones instead of tanking or cement board.
- › Choosing a heavy stone bath without checking joist capacity and support.
- › Buying a shower valve without checking mains pressure — then wondering why it dribbles.
- › Skipping the extract fan or wiring it to the light only — condensation ruins everything.

What You Actually GetConcrete outcomes,
Concrete outcomes,
not marketing fluff.
Genuinely coordinated
Plumbing, tiling and electrics run by one team. No blame-passing between trades.
Correctly waterproofed
Tanking in shower zones, correct backer boards, proper primers and grouts — not a hope-for-the-best job.
Fixed price
You know the number before we start. Variations, if any, are quoted and signed off separately.
Pressure-checked
Every shower and tap tested against your actual mains pressure — no dribbling installs.
Extraction that works
Correctly sized fans, ducted to outside — no condensation blooms on the landing ceiling.
Top-end finish
Grout lines, silicone beads and floor-to-tile transitions done to a standard you'll still be pleased with in year five.
The Detail
Materials, methods, and where the money goes.
A bathroom is 60% preparation and 40% pretty. The bit you don't see is what stops it leaking into the ceiling below in year three.
Waterproofing and substrates
Wet zones get proper tanking (liquid or membrane), sound cement backer boards where needed, and correctly-primed surfaces before tiling. Silicone joints — not grout — at every change of plane. This is the single biggest determinant of how long the bathroom actually lasts.
Sanitaryware and brassware
We fit customer-supplied suites (please share cut-sheets before ordering so we can confirm compatibility) or supply on your behalf. Shower valves are matched to mains pressure — thermostatic on any household with kids or elderly occupants, as standard.
Wet rooms and level-access showers
Wet-room installations require additional substrate preparation, appropriate falls formed in the floor, linear or point drainage, and full-tank waterproofing under the tile bed. Not every floor build-up suits a level-access shower — we survey and advise honestly.
Electrics, extraction and lighting
IP-rated lighting for zones as required by BS 7671, correctly-sized extract fan (calculated on room volume, not the nearest size in the merchant), and dedicated wiring rather than tapping off existing circuits.

Frequently Asked
The questions we hear on the phone.
Nothing here is generic — these are answers we give West London customers every week.
Ask us directlyHow long does a bathroom install take?
A typical main-bathroom refit runs 2–3 weeks on site. En-suites and cloakrooms are shorter; wet rooms and larger reconfigurations can be longer. Timelines are quoted per job.
How much does a new bathroom cost?
Every install is quoted fixed after an on-site visit. Price depends on spec of sanitaryware, tile choice, waterproofing scope and any structural work needed.
Can I supply my own suite and tiles?
Yes. Please share cut-sheets and dimensions before ordering so we can confirm plumbing rough-ins match. If you'd rather we specified and supplied, that's also included in the quote.
Do you fit wet rooms?
Yes — level-access showers and full wet rooms. We'll assess whether your existing floor build-up supports it before quoting.
Do I need to move out?
For single-bathroom homes, most clients stay put — we protect access routes and give clear no-water windows. For larger works or if it's your only WC, we discuss options during the quote.
Are your electrics certified?
Yes. Notifiable electrical work is signed off by a qualified electrician with the appropriate certification.
What guarantee is included?
Manufacturer warranty applies to sanitaryware, brassware and boilers. Fitting workmanship is stood behind — call us if anything's amiss and we'll return.
Can you handle a full en-suite addition?
Yes — including moving supply and waste runs, and coordinating any structural work. This may cross into design & build territory; we'll advise on the survey.
