You get one schedule, one point of contact and one fixed price for the lot. The plumbing side is handled by a Gas Safe registered engineer we bring in, so hot and cold supplies, waste runs and radiator or towel rail moves are done by a properly registered specialist, not improvised. The carpentry, boarding, fitting and finishing are done in-house by an NVQ Level 2 qualified carpenter. This service is for homeowners replacing a tired or leaking bathroom, adding an en-suite or downstairs WC, or getting a property ready for sale or letting. Landlords use us for full bathroom turnarounds where speed, one invoice and no callbacks matter. Bathrooms punish amateur work harder than any other room. Water finds every gap, and the cost of getting it wrong isn't cosmetic: it's rotten joists, stained ceilings and a second full installation. Done properly, with the right trades in the right order, a new bathroom is one of the best investments you can make in a house. 02Why It Matters ## What a Badly Fitted Bathroom Costs You Water is patient. A shower tray without the right fall, a sealant line rushed, a waste connection weeping behind a panel, none of it announces itself on day one. It announces itself months later as a brown stain on the ceiling below, a floor that has started to give, or joists that have quietly rotted behind the tiles. The most expensive bathroom is the one you pay for twice. Putting right a failed installation usually means a full strip-out, new suite included, because tiles, boards and pipework don't survive being unpicked. Rectification costs more than doing it properly the first time, every time. Then there's the coordination failure: a plumber, a tiler and a fitter who have never met, each waiting on the other, each blaming the last. Weeks of downtime in the one room a household can't do without. One firm managing the whole sequence removes that problem entirely. ### Common Mistakes Homeowners Make - 01Buying the suite before anyone has measured the room and checked the pipework, then paying again to make it fit. - 02Hiring separate trades with nobody coordinating them, the job stalls between trades and nobody owns the finish. - 03Choosing the cheapest quote without asking who does the plumbing, and whether they're Gas Safe registered. - 04Tiling over unsound boards or skipping preparation to save a day, the tiles pay for it within months. - 05Accepting a day-rate arrangement with no fixed scope, bathroom jobs drift, and the metre runs while they do. 03How It Works ## How Your Bathroom Installation Runs 01 ### Free Site Visit Charlie visits, measures the room, checks the existing pipework and layout, and talks through what's possible for your budget. It costs nothing and obliges you to nothing. 02 ### Fixed-Price Quote One clear, fixed price for the complete installation, labour and materials accounted for, timescale included. No vague allowances. 03 ### Rip-Out & First Fix The old suite is removed and the room is taken back to a sound shell. First fix plumbing is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with any carpentry and boarding done in-house. 04 ### Installation & Second Fix The new suite goes in, bath, shower, basin, WC, followed by second fix, tiling preparation and finishing, all sequenced so nothing waits on anyone. 05 ### Tested, Sealed & Guaranteed Every connection is tested, every sealant line checked, and the room is walked through with you before we leave. The job is covered by our workmanship guarantee, terms vary by job type, so ask when we quote. 04Why CV Carpentry ## What You Get With CV Carpentry A bathroom involves more trades than any other room in the house. Here's how we make that simple instead of stressful. ### One Firm, One Schedule No coordinating a plumber, a fitter and a tiler yourself. One quote, one timeline, one person answerable for the whole job. ### Gas Safe Registered Plumbing All plumbing work is handled by a Gas Safe registered engineer we bring in, the right specialist for the part of the job that can't be improvised. ### One Fixed Price Quoted after a free site visit and honoured to the end of the job. No extras that appear at the finish line. ### Built on Carpentry Boarding, boxing-in, bath panels and door work are done in-house by an NVQ Level 2 qualified carpenter, so the structure behind the tiles is as sound as the finish on top. ### Clean & Respectful The one room you can't do without gets treated accordingly: tidy working, clear communication, and a clean handover. ### Guaranteed Finish £5m public liability cover while we work, and our workmanship guarantee on the finished bathroom. 05In Detail ## Bathroom Fitting in Detail What a full bathroom installation actually involves, and the variations of the service we carry out across Cambridge and the Fens. ### Full Bathroom Rip-Outs & Replacements The most common job: the existing suite is removed, the room is taken back to sound surfaces, and a complete new bathroom is installed, bath or shower, basin, WC, storage, and the finishing around them. Because we're carpenters first, the parts other fitters struggle with, uneven floors, out-of-square walls, boxing-in, made-to-measure bath panels, are the parts we do best. ### En-Suites, Cloakrooms & Downstairs WCs Smaller footprint, same standards. En-suites and cloakrooms live or die on space planning, where the door swings, whether the basin can be used comfortably, how the pipework routes. At the free site visit we'll tell you honestly what fits and what doesn't, and quote one fixed price for the option you choose. ### Plumbing & Heating, Gas Safe Registered All plumbing work on our bathrooms is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer brought in for the job: hot and cold supplies, waste runs, radiator and heated towel rail moves, and the commissioning at the end. You don't need to find, vet or schedule a plumber yourself, it's part of the one fixed price. ### Preparation, Tiling Prep & Finishing The work behind the tiles decides how long the bathroom lasts: moisture-resistant boards where they're needed, flat and sound surfaces, correct falls on shower areas, and proper sealant work at the end. Finishing includes the carpentry details, boxing-in, panels, trims and doors, fitted by the same firm that built everything behind them.

It depends on the room, the suite and how much of the layout is changing, which is why we don't guess over the phone. After a free site visit you get one fixed price for the complete installation, and the price we quote is the price you pay. ### How long does a full bathroom installation take? A straightforward replacement typically takes one to two weeks once work starts; more involved layouts take longer. The timescale is included in your quote, and because one firm runs every trade, the job doesn't stall between them. ### Do you handle the plumbing yourselves? All plumbing is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer we bring in as part of the job. The carpentry, boarding, fitting and finishing are done in-house. You get one firm and one invoice, we handle the specialists. ### Can we buy the suite ourselves? Yes. Some clients supply their own suite and we fit it; most prefer us to supply and fit so everything is coordinated. Either way, we'd strongly recommend the site visit happens before anything is bought, it avoids expensive surprises. ### Will we be without water or a toilet for the whole job? No. Water is isolated only while specific plumbing work is carried out, and we plan the job to keep disruption as short as possible. We'll talk you through exactly what to expect, day by day, before work starts. ### Is the work insured and guaranteed? Yes. We hold public liability insurance cover up to £5 million, and every finished bathroom is backed by our workmanship guarantee. Terms vary by job type: ask for the details when we quote. ### How does payment work for a bathroom? Larger jobs are typically paid in stages: a 25% deposit, further payments at agreed milestones, and the balance on completion. We accept bank transfer, cash and card. ### Do you fit bathrooms in rental properties? Yes, landlords use us for full bathroom turnarounds where speed, one invoice and no callbacks matter. The job is still quoted at one fixed price, and we work efficiently to keep the void period as short as possible. ### Can you work around us while we live in the house? Yes, most clients stay put during the work. We keep the site tidy, isolate water only while specific plumbing is being done, and plan the sequence so disruption is as short as possible. You'll know the day-by-day picture before work starts. ### Do you fit walk-in showers and easier-access bathrooms? Yes, walk-in showers and easier-access layouts are a growing part of the work. Tell us what you need at the site visit and we'll say honestly what the room can take, then quote one fixed price for it. ### Which areas do you cover? We're based in CB3, Cambridge and fit bathrooms across Cambridgeshire and the Fens, including Wisbech, Peterborough, King's Lynn, St Neots, Huntingdon, March, Chatteris and Whittlesey.
