Wet rooms and bathrooms in Wigan
We cover Wigan borough from Ashton-in-Makerfield across to Leigh, taking on adaptations, bathrooms, kitchens and the building work that goes with them.
Local work
Terraced stock and the upstairs bathroom problem
A large share of the borough is terraced and semi-detached housing where the only bathroom is upstairs and not especially big.
For someone whose mobility has changed, that is the whole problem in one sentence. The stairs are as much of an obstacle as the bath is, and a beautifully executed upstairs wet room does not help if the person cannot reliably get up to it.
So the first conversation is usually about where the room should be rather than what it should look like. Sometimes the answer is a downstairs shower room formed out of a dining room, a utility or part of a garage. Sometimes it is the existing bathroom after all. We would rather have that conversation honestly at the survey than build the wrong room well.
Where the layout has to change, the structural work, plastering and making good are ours too, so there is no gap between the builder finishing and the bathroom fitter starting.

What we do
Nine trades, one point of contact
We handle the building and plastering ourselves and manage every other trade the job needs, so the programme is our problem rather than yours.
Wet rooms
Tanking, level-access formers, linear and centre drainage. The waterproofing is the job; the tiles are only the finish.
Bathrooms
Full installations, from strip-out through first fix, boarding and tiling to a finished room.
Kitchens
Fitting, with plumbing and electrics planned around the layout rather than worked around afterwards.
Structural works
New openings, load-bearing alterations and layout changes, with building control liaison.
Plastering
Skimming, re-skims and making good, so the finish does not give away where the work was done.
Flooring
LVT, laminate, engineered wood and tile, laid over a subfloor prepared properly first.
Central heating, plumbing and electrical work is carried out alongside the build. We do not take on roofing.
Adaptations
Disabled Facilities Grant work in Wigan
Grant-funded adaptations here are administered by Wigan Council, normally following an assessment by an occupational therapist.
If an application is already under way, we can quote directly against the scope the occupational therapist has set out. That keeps the paperwork moving instead of restarting the specification from scratch.
Privately funded adaptations are taken on exactly the same basis. The work is identical — only the funding differs, and nobody has to wait for a decision before starting.
Level-access formers, walk-in showers, grab rail provision and slip-resistant finishes, specified around the person who will use the room rather than around a catalogue.
