Working in Hastings

We cover every part of Hastings, including TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Bexhill-on-Sea (4.8 miles) and Hailsham (14.1 miles).

Across a large town like Hastings, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Hastings homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. If you are in Hastings and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Water across much of East Sussex 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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

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.

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.

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 is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
