Working in Whitehaven

As well as Whitehaven itself (CA28), we survey in Workington, Barrow in Furness and Penrith.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Whitehaven: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Whitehaven and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. If your Whitehaven 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 Cumbria is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one

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.

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
