Working in Rickmansworth
We work right across Rickmansworth — HA6, WD3 and WD18 — and in neighbouring Watford and Chalfont St Peter.
In Rickmansworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Rickmansworth bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If your Rickmansworth home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.
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
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Decisions to make first
Combining rooms
Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
