Bathroom fitters Gravesend: one fitter from strip out to handover
Gravesend is on the western side of the area CRF Services Ltd covers, a straight run up the A2 from Rochester. Bathroom refits there are planned with the suite delivered before day one and Danny working through each stage himself, so you deal with the same person who measured, priced and fitted the room.
Bathrooms from two building waves
Gravesend grew south and east from its riverside landing, with major building after both world wars: King's Farm mostly in the 1920s, then the estates that followed 1945. Many bathrooms in those houses were laid out for a bath, a basin and often a separate toilet, and some still have original-era pipe runs boxed behind panels. Owners now tend to want a better shower, more storage and tiling that goes further.
Where a separate toilet and bathroom are being knocked together, the wall between them is checked to see whether it carries any load before any plan is fixed.
Flats and terraces
Across Gravesham, 20.3% of homes are flats and 30.0% are terraced, so a lot of bathrooms in the town are compact and reached up narrow stairs or through shared hallways. Access, parking and when noisy work is allowed are agreed before the start date. Across the borough, 78.8% of homes rely on mains gas alone for heating, so the shower is chosen to suit the existing boiler, and any gas work is left to a Gas Safe engineer.
Planning the work
Every refit starts with a visit to measure the room, look at the pipe runs and agree what stays and what moves. Once the scope is agreed in writing, the materials are ordered and delivery is booked for before the start date. The days then run back to back: strip out, first fix, boarding and waterproofing, tiling, then fitting the suite and testing everything with you.

Landlords and getting a quote
Around 19.1% of homes across Gravesham are privately rented, and a bathroom refit between tenancies is planned around the next move-in date. Old tiles and the outgoing suite are bagged and taken away, so the skip question rarely comes up for a single bathroom. If the house has only one toilet, the order of work is planned so it is usable each evening wherever possible.
For smaller jobs, see the Gravesend small jobs page, and the Gravesend area page covers other work in the town. Further along the A2, the Dartford bathroom fitters page explains how work beyond Gravesend is considered.
