Bathroom Installation

How Do We Approach Bathroom Installation in Sutton-in-Ashfield?

Most bathrooms we are asked to replace in Sutton-in-Ashfield are in pre-1960 houses: the Victorian and early twentieth-century terraces built when the town ran on framework knitting, textiles and coal, and the estates that followed at Sutton Junction, Skegby, Stanton Hill and Huthwaite. In that housing a cosmetic refit over failing plaster rarely lasts, so the usual job is a full strip-out back to brick and joist, then a new room built properly from there.

As bathroom fitters coming to Sutton from Creswell, about twelve miles and twenty-five minutes away, we always start with a free survey and a free quote: a fixed written price that already includes the plastering, electrics, tiling and making good. There is no travel charge anywhere in our thirty-mile radius, we are in the Mansfield and Ashfield area most weeks, and because every trade is ours most complete bathrooms take seven to twelve working days from strip-out to handover.

What Do Sutton-in-Ashfield Bathrooms Usually Need?

In the older terraces around the town centre, Stanton Hill and Huthwaite the bathroom is small, often over the kitchen, and the plaster behind the old tiles usually comes away with them. Pipework has typically been extended piecemeal by several different hands over the years. We strip the room out, put the walls and floor right, re-run the supplies and waste, and then fit the new suite, so the finish has something sound behind it.

In a two-up two-down the bathroom supplies often pass through the kitchen ceiling, so the order of work matters. We plan a working WC and sink into the programme at the survey, because in a terrace this size there is no second bathroom to fall back on. On the post-war estates the rooms are squarer and the work is more often a straight upgrade: a walk-in shower in place of an over-bath shower, better tiling and an extractor that actually clears the steam. The newer housing towards Kings Mill tends to want an en suite or a better-specified family bathroom.

Sutton also has a strong rental market, and landlords need a bathroom turned round between tenancies to a fixed completion date. Booking every trade separately adds a week of void each time; with one team providing all the services, the programme holds.

What are we asked for most?

  • Full strip-outs in the Victorian and early twentieth-century terraces, rebuilt rather than patched again
  • Walk-in showers and bath-to-shower conversions on the post-war estates at Skegby and Sutton Junction
  • En suites and family bathroom upgrades in the newer housing towards Kings Mill
  • Rental bathrooms refitted between tenancies against a fixed completion date

Scope

What Does Our Bathroom Installation Include?

Every bathroom installation job Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens takes on covers all 10 parts of the work, from strip-out and first fix to making good and the final clean, carried out by one in-house team of seven trades. See the full list of what is included.

Which bathroom services do we offer in Sutton-in-Ashfield?

We offer the full range of bathroom services: complete bathroom installation, walk-in showers, wet rooms, en suites, cloakrooms, easier-access bathrooms, and the plumbing, electrics, plastering and wall and floor tiling that go with them. Every service is provided by our own team, backed by over 30 years' experience and NVQ Level 3 Carpentry & Joinery, and fully insured. Customers can have us supply the whole bathroom or fit a suite they have bought themselves, and the same people stay on the project from strip-out to handover.

Walk-in showers: how we plan and fit them

What does a bathroom installation in Sutton-in-Ashfield include?

Our complete bathroom installation service covers the strip-out and removal of the old suite, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering and boarding, tanking in the shower area, wall and floor tiling, fitting the suite, taps, shower and towel rail, second fix and the final clean. Every part is done by our own team and listed in the written quote, including anything that is not included, so nothing is added once the room is stripped.

What order a bathroom renovation is done in

Who signs off bathroom work in Sutton-in-Ashfield?

A like-for-like bathroom replacement does not usually need building control. A new electrical circuit, new drainage or a structural opening does, and in Sutton that goes either to Ashfield District Council's building control or through a competent person scheme. All our work is to the Building Regulations for England, certified work is signed off by an appropriate registered tradesperson, and any gas relocation is done by a registered engineer. Keep the certificates: a buyer's solicitor will ask for them.

Bathroom building regulations explained

Where does the skip go on a terraced street?

Many terraces in the older streets open straight onto the pavement with no drive, so a skip on the road needs a Nottinghamshire County Council permit and has to be booked ahead. On a drive or in a yard no permit is needed. We sort this before the start date, and materials are delivered close to the day they are fitted rather than stacked in the front room.

Good to know

Bathroom Installation in Sutton-in-Ashfield: Questions We Get Asked

Do you charge to travel to Sutton-in-Ashfield?
No. Sutton-in-Ashfield is about twelve miles from our base in Creswell, around twenty-five minutes via Pleasley or Mansfield, and well inside our thirty-mile radius, so there is no travel charge for any NG17 address and every part of the town is covered. Call or contact us to book the free survey, and you get a fixed written quote and a start date afterwards.
What does a bathroom fitter charge per hour?
Most bathroom fitters quote for the whole job rather than charging by the hour, because the hours depend on what they find once the old room is stripped. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens does not charge by the hour or the day: we survey the room for free and give a fixed written price for the complete installation, so the time the job takes is our risk, not yours.
What are common bathroom renovation mistakes?
The ones we see most in Sutton are tiling over blown plaster, a shower with no tanking behind the tiles, an extractor that vents into the loft instead of outside, and a suite ordered before anyone has checked the waste can reach the soil pipe. A proper survey before the quote, and a written scope that lists the waterproofing and ventilation, avoids all four.
Do you cover Huthwaite, Skegby and Stanton Hill?
Yes. Our bathroom services cover the whole of Sutton-in-Ashfield and the surrounding area, including Huthwaite, Skegby, Stanton Hill and Sutton Junction. The housing is broadly consistent, Victorian and early twentieth-century terraces with large post-war estates, so the scope of work is familiar and the quote is accurate.
Can we choose the suite and tiles ourselves?
Yes. Plenty of customers buy their own suite and tiles and we fit them with the same care as a bathroom we supply. Tell us what you are considering before you order and we will check the shower tray, waste and tap specifications against your room. Or we can supply the whole bathroom for you.
I let out a terraced house in Sutton. What paperwork should I have after a bathroom refit?
An electrical installation certificate for any new or altered circuit, a building regulations completion certificate or self-certification notice for notifiable work, and the manuals for anything that needs servicing. Our own electricians do the wiring, so the certificates come with the finished room rather than weeks afterwards.
Can the kitchen and bathroom in a small Sutton terrace be done together?
Yes, but we sequence them so you are never without both at once. Which room goes first depends on where the water, waste and cabling run, and we plan a working sink and a usable WC into the programme at the survey.
