Rochdale and surrounds
Bathroom fitting in Rochdale, planned around the property
Rochdale ranges from stone terraces on the hillsides to postwar semis and family housing closer to the centre. The starting condition of the room decides most of the work, so our surveys here spend a long time on preparation rather than product choice.
Rochdale service
Preparation first, finish second
Solid stone and older brick walls behave differently to modern blockwork. They hold moisture, they are seldom flat and tile adhesive alone will not fix either problem. Where needed we batten, board or re-render so the tiled surface stays put.
Two rooms of the same size can be a week apart in labour once you allow for wall condition. We show that difference in the written quotation instead of hiding it in a single figure.

Rochdale questions
Asked by Rochdale customers
Why does damp keep coming back in my bathroom?
Usually because the cause was covered rather than treated. We look for the source first, then treat and prepare the wall before any tiling.
Can you convert a bath into a walk in shower?
Yes, and it is one of our most requested Rochdale jobs. The floor build up and drainage decide whether a level or low profile tray suits best.
Do stone walls cause problems for tiling?
Only if they are ignored. Prepared properly with the right board or render, they take tiles as well as anything else.
How long will you be in the house?
Most Rochdale renovations run one to two and a half weeks depending on how much rebuilding the room needs.
