Working in Welwyn Garden City
We work right across Welwyn Garden City — AL7 and AL8 — and in neighbouring Hatfield and Hertford.
In Welwyn Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Welwyn Garden City home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. If you have young children at home in Welwyn Garden City, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Most of Hertfordshire 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
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- 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
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Decisions to make first
Bath material
Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.
Shower over the bath or separate
A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.
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.
