About the room
The fuller the detail here, the more useful the first conversation becomes.
Generally the quicker route.
Describe what is there at present and what you would prefer instead, and we will say during the call whether it is the sort of work we undertake and what it entails.

Worth reading beforehand
What sort of figure should we have in mind?
Wider spread than people tend to assume, and the sanitaryware is seldom the largest element. A modest shower room and a principal bathroom finished in full-height porcelain occupy quite different territory. The estimate separates labour from materials so it is plain which decisions carry the cost.
How long is the room unavailable?
Allow the greater part of a week for a complete installation; shower rooms and direct replacements are shorter. If the property has only one bathroom we arrange the sequence to return the WC to use early, and we will be candid about which days are the inconvenient ones.
Who selects the fittings?
Entirely as you prefer. A good number of clients arrive having chosen everything already. Others set a budget and a broad direction and ask us to return with a shortlist. Neither creates any difficulty at our end.
Where does the old bathroom go?
Out with us. Sanitaryware, tiling, floor covering and debris all leave the property, and the room is swept and wiped before it is handed back.
Can a bath be taken out in favour of a shower?
Yes, and it remains the most frequent enquiry we receive. The bath is removed, services are repositioned, the walls are boarded and tanked, and the tray, enclosure and tiling follow. In a room of ordinary proportions it is a matter of days.
How does a wet room differ from a shower room?
The tray. A shower room has one, enclosed by glass. A wet room does not — the floor itself is sealed and graded toward an outlet, leaving nothing to step over. Wet rooms demand more preparation but they are unrivalled where mobility is a consideration.
Are tiling and electrical work part of the price?
They are. Walls, floors, panelling, and the electrical elements as well — recessed lighting, extraction and shaver points. One crew undertakes all of it, so no element of the work waits on another party’s calendar.
Ours is a period property with uneven walls. Is that awkward?
It is entirely usual. A great deal of the housing around Harrogate and the surrounding villages predates any notion of a true right angle, and much of it has stone or lath behind the plaster. It governs how we set out and where we pack, not whether the work can proceed.
Is there a charge for the estimate?
There is not. Someone attends, examines the room properly, and a written figure follows. Nothing further happens unless you make contact again — we do not telephone people repeatedly.
Which areas do you attend?
Harrogate together with Knaresborough, Ripon, Wetherby, Boroughbridge, Pateley Bridge and the villages between them, extending toward Masham, Otley and Ilkley. If you fall just beyond, telephone and we will give you a straight answer.
