Which towns do we cover in Shropshire?
Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. We measure Telford bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.
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 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
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
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.
Tile setting-out
Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.
Storage
Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.
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
Changing the layout inside an existing bathroom does not need planning permission. The design does have to respect the electrical zones around the bath and shower under BS 7671, the water fittings rules for new WCs and taps, including a maximum 6-litre flush, and adequate extract ventilation. Listed buildings need listed building consent for alterations affecting their character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls, and in a flat the lease often requires freeholder consent for moving the WC or adding a new vent.
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.
