Covering Great Sankey
Alongside Great Sankey, we also cover Warrington, Newton-le-Willows (4 miles to the north) and Widnes.
Homes in the North West
The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.
What does bathroom installation involve?
Bathroom installation covers stripping out the old suite, altering plumbing and wiring, waterproofing, tiling, and fitting the new bath, shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. We also build new en-suites and shower rooms in lofts and extensions.
- Strip-out and disposal
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail
How much should I budget for bathroom installation?

|---|---|
| En-suite or shower room | £5,500 to £10,000 |

Planning and building rules in Great Sankey
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What can affect bathroom installation?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
