Matki bathroom installation in Stoke Poges

Stoke Poges houses tend to sit on plots large enough that a bathroom refit rarely has to compromise on layout, and that's a useful starting point when the enclosure being specified is Matki, because the sequencing underneath the glass matters as much as the space around it. Matki's shower enclosures and screens are built to a minimal, largely frameless aesthetic, with almost no trim left to disguise an uneven wall or a shower tray that isn't quite level — the glass does the talking, which means the tray, the tiling and the wall fixing points all have to be settled and correct before a single panel is ordered. Whether it's going into an older period detached house or a newer executive-style build set well back from the road, we work through that sequence at survey, then fit only — you choose the Matki enclosure, we handle the strip-out, first fix, tiling, wall fixing and snagging, from £3,500.

What we install from Matki in Stoke Poges

Matki turns up in Stoke Poges most often as a shower enclosure or screen specified for its minimal, largely frameless look, usually in a principal en-suite or a family bathroom where a clean run of glass is the design intent. Because the hardware is kept deliberately minimal, there's very little margin to disguise an inaccurate opening, an out-of-true wall, or an unlevel tray underneath it — so we treat the preparation work as the main event, not a formality ahead of a simple screen fit. We work from whatever's been specified through a showroom or designer and build the strip-out, first fix and tiling sequence specifically around what that enclosure needs to sit correctly.

Installation considerations specific to Matki

The detail we focus on hardest with a Matki job is the shower tray. A largely frameless screen has no deep frame to absorb a tray that's slightly out of level or a tile line that's a few millimetres off the ordered dimension, so we set and check the tray before tiling begins, confirm the finished tile thickness against the glass order, and only then release the opening measurement to be cut. The wall fixing points for the hinges or channel also need to land on correctly prepared, sound substrate — not a patch of plaster or a stud position chosen for convenience — because once the glass is cut to size, there's no trimming it to fit a fixing point that's slightly wrong.

How Stoke Poges's housing stock affects a typical Matki installation

Stoke Poges's large plots and substantial houses, from older period detached homes to more recent executive-style builds set well back from the road, generally give us more scope to get the layout and the substrate right before a Matki enclosure goes in. Relocating a waste run, widening a recess, or adding a second en-suite off a principal bedroom rarely runs into the structural constraints a terraced house would present, which means the sequencing we need for a frameless screen — tray first, tiling to the confirmed dimension, fixing points checked — can usually be planned properly rather than squeezed around an existing footprint. In an older period property we still check solid wall fixings and existing floor joists before confirming a tray position; in a newer build we're more often verifying what a previous fit-out has already established.

Fit-only, from £3,500

We install Matki enclosures and screens on a fit-only basis — you choose and supply the glass, hardware finish, sanitaryware and tiles, and we handle the strip-out, first fix, tiling, tray setting, wall fixing and snagging. Installations across Stoke Poges start from £3,500, and every project begins with a fixed-price £125 survey, deducted from your project cost if you go ahead, where we confirm the tray position, the tile dimension and the wall fixing points before the enclosure is ordered.
