There was also a problem with excess condensation in the bathroom area which we believe was causing problems downstairs. The condensation could have been down to a number of causes so a process of elimination was called for. Steve was also worried about future damage so wanted the bathroom area to be tanked which was something we did before anything else. The bathroom design was done on CAD before ordering the various bits and pieces so we were sure that the layout was correct. Steve and Lorna went for a contemporary desing in the bathroom with Granite wall tiles, Quartz worktop, freestanding bath style sink, a back to wall toilet with anti condensation cistern and a reinforced acrylic bath with waterfall style taps. The flooring was an aquastep flooring which is designed specifically for bathrooms in that it has a waterproof locking system. A new shower enclosure and thermostatic shower were also installed. KITCHEN Once we had settled on the bathroom design it was decided by Steve and Lorna that they would like to get the kitchen done at the same time so that they only had to deal with the mess and disruption once. Good thinking i suppose but the only downside was that they wanted both doing before Christmas! Ok, no pressure! By the time work had started on the bathroom it was now late November so we really had to get a move on. The kitchen chosen was a cream shaker door – Cartmel Ivory – which is an MDF wrapped woodgrain door, hardwearing and easy to clean. This door replicates a true timber door and has a textured timber woodgrain finish to it and is available in any colour. Ie you can bring your colour to us and we will match it. The worktop chosen was very similar to the bathroom worktop being a mirror chip quartz. Not only did we have the kitchen to fit but we had a problem with the electrics in that they were still on the old mains board which had to be modified in order to supply the kitchen with its own ring. Steve and lorna had also decided they wanted a full rip out ie they wanted all the old plaster removing from the walls and renewing with plasterboard and skim. No usually a problem but Christmas was getting much nearer and the days flying past at this point! Onwards and upwards they say! To cut a long long long story short we got everything plastered, rewired, replumbed, new kitchen installed, new flooring and even popped some tiles on the wall in time for christmas and the results are shown above! [/av_tab] [av_tab title=’Work Involved’ icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’] Full kitchen rip out. All walls were stripped back to brick to achieve perfectly square corners and perfectly flat wall surfaces once plastered. The kitchen need a full rewire and new ring main putting in which also involved upgrading the main consumer unit. All associated plumbing and gas work was undertaken. New aqua loc flooring and underlay was installed after levelling the floor and we also did the tiling and painting once the kitchen was installed. [/av_tab] [av_tab title=’Worktops’ icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’] Worktop chosen was the black mirror chip quartz which looks great against the cream doors. All templating and fitting is included in our quotes.

Bathroom – Salford

We met onsite and it became apparant that somebody previously had messed around with the flooring in the bathroom and had ended up raising one side of the bathroom floor. We suspected this was to provide space under the floor for the shower waste which isnt the best way forward to say the least. Anyway this was proven correct when we removed all the old furniture and flooring. Needless to say we restored the floor back to its original height before installing the new bathroom suite. An easy plumb system was decided upon to provide easy access to the shower waste if necessary at a future date. The easy plumb system basically means the shower tray sits a bit higher off the floor and the plumbing is easily accessible behind the plinth which is attached to the front of the shower tray. This also removes the necessity of going through floor joists with the wastes. All wall and floor tiling was removed down to brick/plaster. Patch plaster repairs were made and then the full room was tiled from floor to ceiling in ceramic tiles. The flooring was prepared with a 12mm ply sub base, primered and then tiled over using mapei super flexible adhesive which is always recommended for timber floors due to the “give” it provided in the flooring. 900mm quadrant shower, toilet, pan & cistern, Sink & pedestal, towel radiator and vanity mirror were then installed. Job was completed in approximately 7 days from rip out to finish. NMB supplied all materials and bathroom goods. We carry brochures of all bathroom suites we supply and offer price match guarantees on a genuine like for like basis which is reflective of how confident we are in offering the best possible quality at the best possible prices.

The service was excellent from the planning from Nev to all the tiling, plumbing and fitting by Eddie. I couldn’t have asked for better workmanship.
