Working in Amersham on the Hill
As well as Amersham on the Hill itself (HP5, HP6 and HP7), we survey in Amersham, Chesham and Chalfont St Peter.
Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have young children at home in Amersham on the Hill, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. We survey in Amersham on the Hill before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Most of Buckinghamshire 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
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Decisions to make first
Floor
Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.
Storage
A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.
Rules that apply in England
In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.
