What do we cover in Maidstone?
- Strip-out, asbestos checks and waste removal
- Baths, showers, basins and WCs, including thermostatic showers
- Wet-wall panelling or tiling and slip-resistant flooring
- Humidity-controlled extract fans
- Electrical work in special locations, certified and notified where required
How do we deliver it?
We fit humidity-controlled extract ventilation as part of the renewal, because a new bathroom without effective extract is a future damp and mould call.
