Working in Hatfield

We work right across Hatfield — AL9 and AL10 — and in neighbouring Welwyn Garden City and St Albans.

Homes in and around Hatfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Hatfield, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Hatfield flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very 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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

Is the home survey in Hatfield really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover AL9 and AL10 in Hatfield?

Yes. We cover all of Hatfield, including AL9 and AL10, and nearby Welwyn Garden City, St Albans and Potters Bar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
