Working in Chesterfield
As well as Chesterfield itself (S40 and S41), we survey in Staveley, Dronfield and Sheffield.
Across a large town like Chesterfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you have young children at home in Chesterfield, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Chesterfield household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.
Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. 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.
What the job includes
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
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.
Screen or curtain
Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.
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.
