Working in Wakefield
We cover every part of Wakefield, including WF1, WF2, WF4 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Lofthouse (3.2 miles) and Ossett (3.4 miles).
Wakefield is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a busy Wakefield 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 Wakefield, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
