Working in Wellingborough
In Wellingborough we cover NN8; we also cover Rushden, 4 miles away, and Kettering.
Homes in and around Wellingborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Wellingborough household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If you have young children at home in Wellingborough, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Water across much of Northamptonshire is 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
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
