Working in Hounslow
As well as Hounslow itself (TW3, TW4, TW5 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Isleworth, Heston and Feltham.
In Hounslow, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are in Hounslow and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Before a new bath is ordered for a Hounslow home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Decisions to make first
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Part G limits the hot water to a new bath to 48 °C at the outlet, usually with a thermostatic mixing valve, but only in a new dwelling or one created by a change of use. It does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing home, though a thermostatic valve is still sensible where children or older people bathe. New wiring for a shower over the bath or new lights is notifiable under Part P.
