Kitchens and bathrooms

The visible half of a kitchen or bathroom is the easy half. What decides whether it lasts is the pipework, the electrics and the substrate behind it.

Kitchens & bathrooms by Hawk Builders in London

Plenty of clients buy their own units, sanitaryware and tiles — often at a better price than a builder's markup. That is fine, and common. We fit what you have bought and handle the plumbing and electrical connections behind it.

What we do ask is that the specification is agreed before we price the labour. Fitting 600×600 tiles laid straight is a different job from mosaics or herringbone, and pricing one while planning the other is how disputes start.

Scope

What a kitchen or bathroom fit covers

  • Full strip-out and waste removal
  • Plumbing first fix and connections
  • Electrical first and second fix
  • Extractor fan supply and installation
  • Wall preparation, boarding and tanking where required
  • Wall and floor tiling
  • Sanitaryware, shower tray, screen and tap installation
  • Kitchen unit installation and appliance connection
  • Sink and tap installation
  • Radiator and towel rail installation

Before you commit

Where you are supplying the units, tiles or sanitaryware, the quote lists each item and who is responsible for ordering it — including the adhesives, grout and trims that are easy to forget.

Questions

About kitchens & bathrooms

Can I buy my own kitchen, tiles or sanitaryware?

Yes, and many clients do. Where you supply an item, we fit it and handle the plumbing and electrical connections behind it.

Every quote lists each item individually and states who supplies it and who fits it — including the easily-forgotten ones like adhesive, grout, trims and silicone. That split is agreed in writing before work starts. It varies from project to project, so it is confirmed for your job specifically rather than assumed from a standard list.

What does your quote actually include?

Quotes are itemised rather than a single figure. They set out the construction works covered — demolition and waste removal, groundworks and foundations, structure, roof, drainage, first and second fix, plastering and making good — alongside the assumptions the price is based on, such as foundation depth and the specification of materials.

The point of itemising is that you can compare it properly against another builder's price, and see where two quotes differ rather than just which is lower.

How long will my project take?

It depends entirely on scope, access and how much is unknown before work opens up. A bathroom is a different order of magnitude from a two-storey extension.

Rather than quote a generic figure here, we give you a programme with your quote, based on your actual drawings and site.

What areas do you cover?

Hawk Builders works across London — Central, North, South, East and West, borough to borough. If you are on the edge of the city and unsure whether you are in range, call and ask; it is a quicker answer than guessing from a map.
