Loft en-suite installation in Retford, East Midlands. Replaced galvanised pipework with copper, new mixer fed from mains pressure. Final bill ยฃ8840 fitted, including all materials. NICEIC Part P signed off the new lighting circuit and shaver socket. Tile grout still bright white after a winter of use.

Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Retford. Two CIPHE-registered firms plus one TrustMark - all transparent on price, went with the firm who proposed a different layout that worked better. Daily 5pm photo updates by WhatsApp, weekly progress against the spec. Three months on, still nothing to fault.

Past a full year and the wall-hung WC and basin make the whole room feel twice as big. Fitter sent the test cert and care guide to our home email a week later. EPC went up one band thanks to the new heated towel rail being on a timer.
