Working in Oakham

In Oakham we cover LE15; we also cover Melton Mowbray, 9.4 miles away, and Stamford.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oakham: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Oakham bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. A design survey in Oakham covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

Most of Rutland 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

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
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

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 does a bathroom designer do?

A bathroom designer works out the layout, products and finishes that suit your room and budget, within the limits set by the drainage, water supply, structure and electrics. The result is a drawing and a product list that the fitters build from, so the price can be fixed before anything is ordered.
