Working in Barnstaple
We work right across Barnstaple — EX31 and EX32 — and in neighbouring Bideford and Tiverton.
In Barnstaple, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether you are in Barnstaple or elsewhere in Devon, layout options come with an itemised written quote. If your Barnstaple bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Decisions to make first
Where the shower goes
A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.
Planning for later
Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.
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.
