Joinery

Bathroom Installation Custom Joinery

A window cill was added along with a custom made towel storage box to fill the space at the end of the bath, whilst providing a useful function.

Bathroom Installation Boxing In Pipework

Unsightly (but necessary) pipework was hidden by ‘boxing in’ made of melamine. Provisions were made (in the form of a small hole in the boxing in to access the isolating valve) to isolate the toilet cistern, should future maintenance be required.

Painting / decorating

The walls were prepared & painted in an emulsion paint suitable for bathrooms & any woodwork e.g. window cills, skirting & arthitrave was glossed.

Tiling

Bathroom Installation Tiling Around Bath

Small ceramic tiles were chosen by the customer from our local tile supplier and these were applied around the bath & behind the basin after tanking out the walls in all of the ‘wet areas.’

Flooring

Bathroom Installation Vinyl Floor

Vinyl flooring was added as an affordable way of providing a nice floor finish that would be easy to maintain.

Summary

Easy Bathroom Installation In Leeds

This bathroom installation started on a Monday and finished the following Thursday.

The work schedule was very tightly organised by a project manager (me) ensuring the work was done in the correct order to give the best finish in the shortest time.

It involved many tradesmen that the homeowner may have found difficult to source individually, and then organise into a tight schedule: On this job we had a joiner, tiler, plumber, vinyl floor fitter and a couple of labourers & painters – All project managed by a single source to make the process as smooth as possible.
