Working in Stanford-le-Hope
We cover every part of Stanford-le-Hope, including SS16 and SS17, and nearby Basildon (3.3 miles) and Pitsea (4.3 miles).
In Stanford-le-Hope, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Stanford-le-Hope bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Stanford-le-Hope, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Most of Essex has very 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
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
