Working in Abingdon

We work right across Abingdon — OX13 and OX14 — and in neighbouring Didcot and Cowley.

In Abingdon, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Abingdon bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. If you are in Abingdon and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Most of Oxfordshire has hard water. 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

  • Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
  • 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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
