Design supply-and-fit vs fit-only
Supply-and-fit means we source everything (suite, tiles, brassware, accessories), usually saves you time and gives us tighter control over lead times and quality. Fit-only means you've chosen and paid for the products yourself, and we install what you've bought. Both work; supply-and-fit tends to give a smoother project because we're accountable for the whole outcome.
Wet rooms and level-access showers
Wet rooms need a proper former, correctly sloped substrate, full tanking, and linear drain in the right place, all done before tiling. Get any of those wrong and the room floods. This is where 'a builder who does bathrooms' typically falls short of 'a heating engineer who does bathrooms'.
Heated towel rails, underfloor heating and ventilation
A modern bathroom typically has a heated towel rail (plumbed off the central heating), underfloor heating (electric mats under tile, or wet if part of a wider system), and mechanical extraction (mandatory in bathrooms without an openable window). All coordinated with the boiler and heating controls.
Brassware, showers and thermostatic control
Thermostatic mixer showers (protecting against scalding) are effectively mandatory now, the difference is between cheap TMV cartridges that fail early and mid-range branded units that last decades. We recommend based on your system pressure and expected use, not on margin.
Landlord and rental bathrooms
For rental properties we focus on durable, easy-to-clean, easy-to-replace parts, the choices are different from an owner-occupier bathroom. We can advise on the sensible balance between capex and long-term maintenance cost.
