Working in Burntwood
We cover every part of Burntwood, including WS7, and nearby Great Wyrley (3.7 miles) and Lichfield (4.3 miles).
In Burntwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a busy Burntwood household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. Whether your Burntwood bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.
Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- 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.
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.
