Covering Rawtenstall
Rawtenstall is about 18 miles east of Preston. We also cover Accrington (5 miles to the north-west), Bury and Burnley.
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 is bathroom installation?
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.
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware

What approvals does bathroom installation need in England?
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. Electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable in many cases, and new bathrooms need ventilation that meets building regulations.
What should I think about before starting?
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
