Working in Haverhill

We work right across Haverhill — CB9 — and in neighbouring Saffron Walden and Newmarket.

In Haverhill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Haverhill before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Haverhill 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.

Most of Suffolk 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Haverhill really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CB9 in Haverhill?

Yes. We cover all of Haverhill, including CB9, and nearby Saffron Walden, Newmarket and Sudbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Haverhill?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
