Consultation & Project Planning
Every project begins with a conversation. We visit your property to discuss your vision for the space — whether that's a straightforward bathroom replacement or a more involved full home refurbishment.
There's no sales pressure and no obligation. We're here to listen, answer your questions, and discuss how we can help achieve your goals.
What we discuss during consultation
- Understanding your design goals and priorities
- Discussing your ideas for layout and fixtures
- Reviewing the space and discussing project requirements
- Talking through your preferred timeline
- Discussing your budget and overall project expectations
- Answering your questions openly
We work across Wellingborough, Northampton, Kettering, Rushden and surrounding areas — so whether you've found us searching for bathroom fitters in Wellingborough or via a recommendation, we'll come to you.
Planning Your Project
Once we understand your requirements, we put together a clear project outline covering the key elements, so we are aligned on the direction of your renovation.
Design & Planning
Once the initial consultation is complete, we assist in the design and planning phase. We help clarify the scope of work, confirm layouts, and discuss material choices before the installation project begins.
Layout & Space Planning
We explore options for the use of your bathroom space — assessing how different configurations may improve the flow and functionality of the room.
Fixtures & Fittings
We discuss your preferred style — contemporary, traditional or otherwise — and help you select appropriate fixtures including baths, showers, basins and WCs.
Tiles & Surface Finishes
We discuss options for wall tiles, floor tiles and grout colours. We provide guidance on the aesthetic and general suitability of materials for your chosen design.
Plumbing & Heating Layouts
We review the proposed location of pipework, towel rails and other heating elements, ensuring the plan aligns with the agreed-upon design layout.
Project Planning
We outline the scope of the project so you are aware of the planned works before installation begins, helping ensure alignment on expectations.
Ensuite & Specialist Projects
For bedroom conversions, we discuss the practical considerations involved in integrating new plumbing into existing residential spaces.
Sourcing & Site Preparation
With the specification agreed, we move into the preparation phase. This involves managing material procurement and ensuring the site is ready for the installation team.
Effective planning helps manage the project timeline efficiently.
Material sourcing
We coordinate with suppliers to source the fixtures and fittings agreed upon during the design stage, ensuring items are inspected upon arrival.
Preparation work
Before installation begins, existing fittings are removed, the area is protected, and necessary preparatory work is carried out to ensure the space is ready for the new installation.
Minimising disruption
We understand that having your bathroom out of use is inconvenient. We plan the installation sequence to maintain efficiency. You can view examples of our work in Rushden and Irthlingborough.
What Happens at This Stage
Our goal during this phase is to organize the logistics and site environment.
- Materials and fixtures procured
- Delivery schedules coordinated
- Removal and responsible disposal of old suites
- Site protection for adjacent areas
- Installation area prepared for new fittings
- Plumbing infrastructure checked
The Installation Process
Our installation phase focuses on coordinating skilled trades to complete your bathroom renovation in a logical, efficient sequence.
-
First Fix Plumbing
Pipework for hot and cold water supplies, waste routes, and drainage is installed. Our plumbing services are carried out by experienced tradespeople familiar with domestic installations across Northamptonshire.
-
Wall & Floor Preparation
Following plumbing work, we carry out necessary wall boarding or floor preparation. This stage prepares the surfaces for tiling and finishing.
-
Tiling
Wall and floor tiling is completed according to the design agreed upon. We focus on achieving a professional finish with consistent alignment and grout lines.
-
Second Fix Plumbing & Fitting
Sanitary ware, shower enclosures, brassware, and accessories are installed and connected. We have extensive experience with shower installations across Northampton and the surrounding county.
-
Final Inspection
Before project completion, we carry out a final inspection of all connections and fixtures to ensure the installation matches the agreed-upon specification.
Project Completion
The final stage focuses on site cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure you are familiar with your new facilities.
We aim to ensure you are comfortable operating all newly installed fixtures, such as shower controls and valves.
Handover summary
We ensure the site is cleared of debris and materials, leaving the space clean. You are invited to review the installation and ask any questions regarding the equipment. You can view examples of our previous work here: Northampton bathroom remodel and Finedon installation.

We conduct a final review of the installed fixtures and connections to ensure everything is operational.
Customer Walkthrough
We demonstrate the operation of your new shower and other fittings, providing the opportunity to address any questions.

Highly recommend!Posted on Google Ellin ChristodoulouTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. I ordered a shower and taps on Monday, and Norman kept me informed of progress. The plumber (Arnie) came to fit them today, Wednesday. He was efficient, the work was tidy and he even removed his shoes without me having to ask, which can be a bit embarrassing to do. He also gave some helpful advice on how to rearrange the bathroom, which is quite small. I would be very happy to recommend this company.Posted on Google Elaine BalshawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second job using Normz plumbing and heating, my first was a leaking built in shower which had been leaking behind tiles. They repaired this by changing pipes and shower in record time, excellent job.
