Working in Bishops Stortford
We cover every part of Bishops Stortford, including CM23, and nearby Harlow (6.8 miles) and Ware (9 miles).
In Bishops Stortford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Bishops Stortford before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Bishops Stortford before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.
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 free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
