Covering Birkenhead
Birkenhead is about 2 miles south-west of Liverpool. We also cover Liverpool (2 miles to the north-east), Wallasey and Bebington.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What do you get with bathroom installation?
Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

What approvals does bathroom installation need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What should I think about before starting?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
How long does a bathroom installation take?
One to three weeks depending on size and tiling.

New bathrooms need extraction to meet the regulations, and electrical work may be notifiable.
Who deals with the council for a project in Birkenhead?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
