Working in Hoddesdon
In Hoddesdon we cover EN11; we also cover Ware, 3.5 miles away, and Hertford.
In Hoddesdon, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Hoddesdon houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Hoddesdon survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Hoddesdon is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
