Questions
The things people ask before they ring.
If yours is not here, ring 023 8155 0365 or email contact@conceptinstallations.com — we would far rather answer it than have you guess.
Do you design the bathroom or kitchen, or do I need a showroom?
Either way works. A lot of our jobs come to us through bathroom showrooms and kitchen suppliers we have worked with for years — you choose the room with them, and we install it. Equally, plenty of customers arrive with a plan of their own, a supplier's drawing, or nothing at all beyond a room they have stopped liking. We will tell you what the space will physically allow before anybody orders anything.
What happens at the first visit?
A free, no-obligation home survey. We measure, look at where the services run, work out what the floor and the walls will take and talk through what you want to change. You get an honest view of what is straightforward, what is possible with a bit of building work, and what is not worth doing — and none of it commits you to going further.
Can you move walls, or is this fitting only?
We do structural alterations and room reconfigurations as part of renovation work, as well as straightforward installs. Knocking two rooms together, turning an unused landing into a bathroom, reworking a loft — that sort of thing is core work for us rather than an exception, and it is why the fourth item on our service list is 'renovations' and not 'extras'.
Who actually turns up at my house?
Our own fully employed, experienced team. Not a different subcontractor each week. Where something legally requires a registered gas or electrical engineer, that is brought in from the appropriate registered trade — as it must be.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners?
Yes, and a good part of the business is exactly that. We handle reactive and planned maintenance for landlords, letting agencies, housing associations, local authorities, property management companies and commercial clients — plumbing, electrical, carpentry, doors, locks and windows, tiling, plastering and general repairs.
What does a bathroom or kitchen cost?
We don't publish prices, because the figure is decided by the room and by what goes in it rather than by a page on a website. What we will do is survey it for free and give you a proper written figure afterwards, instead of a number guessed at over the phone.
How long will the room be out of use?
It depends on how much of the layout is moving and what has to come out first. We would rather give you a realistic programme after the survey than a headline number here that turns out to be wrong for your house. What we will commit to is the sequence being planned in advance and stuck to.
Which areas do you cover?
Hampshire, from the office at Wallops Wood near Droxford. Winchester, Bishop's Waltham, Wickham and Alresford; Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End and Botley; Fareham, Portchester, Waterlooville, Havant and Gosport; and out to Romsey, Petersfield, Alton, Andover and Basingstoke. If you are just past the edge of that, ring and ask.
What are your opening hours?
We have never published fixed office hours, so rather than put something on a page that might not be true, ring 023 8155 0365 and we will arrange a time — including evenings, if that is what it takes to get everybody round the same table.
What do you not claim?
We hold no trade-body registration we could put a badge on this page for, and we would rather say so plainly than borrow somebody else's logo. Concept's own website displays award shortlisting badges — BKU and kbbreview — and we have repeated those in their own words rather than presenting them as independently verified. What is verifiable is Companies House 06371458, active since 2007, and a public 5.0 rating on Google.
Start with a free home survey, not a guess.
Ring Paul and the team on the number below, or send an email with a few photos of the room and rough measurements. The survey costs nothing and commits you to nothing — and you will get an honest view of what the room will take before anybody orders a thing.
We don't publish fixed office hours — ring the number and we'll arrange a time for the free, no-obligation home survey that suits you.
