Working in Kettering
As well as Kettering itself (NN15 and NN16), we survey in Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden.
Homes in and around Kettering vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Kettering, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. We survey in Kettering before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Most of Northamptonshire 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
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
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.
Bath shape
A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.
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.
