Duravit bathroom installation on Wentworth Estate
Wentworth Estate's gated access means every delivery onto the estate — including the frame and sanitaryware for a Duravit installation — has to be coordinated with the estate and, in a number of cases, a managing agent, so a scheduled delivery slot isn't missed and the programme doesn't lose a day at the gate. That makes the one decision that has to be settled before anything is ordered even more important here than elsewhere: whether a wall-hung pan goes onto Duravit's own DuraSystem frame or a standard concealed cistern frame, because the two aren't interchangeable once a stud wall is boarded, and a frame ordered to the wrong specification means a second trip through the gate to put it right. Duravit sanitaryware comes up from time to time on Wentworth Estate projects, generally specified through a showroom as a SensoWash shower toilet seat or a full ME by Starck suite, and we build the estate's access requirements into the programme from survey stage rather than discovering them once a van's already been turned away.
What we fit from Duravit
Duravit sanitaryware is among the ranges we fit on Wentworth Estate, generally specified through a showroom rather than bought off the shelf. A SensoWash shower toilet seat, which adds a washlet function to a wall-hung pan, and a full ME by Starck suite — basin, WC and furniture specified as a coordinated range — are the two that come up most. We're fit-only throughout: you choose and supply the Duravit products, and we handle the strip-out, frame installation, first fix, tiling and plumbing.
Getting the frame right before it comes through the gate
Duravit offers its own DuraSystem frame for some wall-hung pans, as well as compatibility with a standard concealed cistern frame, and the two aren't interchangeable once a wall is boarded. On an estate where every delivery has to be booked in and coordinated with a managing agent, that decision needs to be right the first time — a wrong frame ordered to the wrong specification doesn't just mean a delay in the build, it means rearranging an access slot to get a replacement through the gate. We confirm the frame route at survey stage, before anything is ordered, specifically to avoid that.
Fit-only, access coordinated for you
We work fit-only on Wentworth Estate: you source the Duravit sanitaryware, brassware, tiles and furniture, and we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and snag, from £3,500, coordinating estate and managing agent access as part of the programme. A £125 survey confirms the frame route and the delivery and access detail before anything is ordered.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — we coordinate with the estate and, where applicable, a managing agent, to book delivery and access slots as part of the programme, so the job isn't held up at the gate.
DuraSystem is Duravit's own frame for some wall-hung pans; others are compatible with a standard concealed cistern frame. They aren't interchangeable once a wall is boarded, which matters more on an estate where a replacement delivery means rebooking an access slot.
We're fit-only, so you source the Duravit products — usually through a showroom — and we handle the installation.
Yes. It needs a power supply and a water feed run to the pan, which we plan for at first fix.
From £3,500, fit-only. A £125 survey confirms the frame route and access requirements before we quote.
