Ask a Trade
Got a question that only a tradesperson can answer? We have thousands of trades ready to answer any question you may have.
Ask your QuestionWhen having a new bathroom fitted, will the toilets in my home be out of use until the work is complete? Will it only apply to one floor for example? I am just thinking about how the pipework could be affected by the installation work and what exactly will be involved. Thanks for your time!
Asked by Jenny on 8th Jul 2021"In most circumstances we can we fit the toilet after each working day to ensure you’re able to use it. This is all dependent on the type of work being carried out and to what extent the bathroom layout has been changed."

Hope this will help you.

"Totally depends on the situation but I always try to leave the toilet in for as along as possible for the customer or swap it straight away so there is one there to use"
