Working in Chesham

We work right across Chesham — HP5 — and in neighbouring Amersham on the Hill and Amersham.

Chesham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are in Chesham and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. If your Chesham bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

Decisions to make first

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

Bathroom design in Chesham: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Chesham?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Chesham typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Chesham?

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Chesham?

Building control for Chesham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you design a bathroom around products I have already chosen?

Yes. Tell us the products at the survey and we will check they fit the room, the water pressure and the drainage before drawing the layout around them. If something will not work, such as a shower valve that needs more pressure than your system gives, we say so before you buy anything else.
