Working in Leighton Buzzard
As well as Leighton Buzzard itself (LU7), we survey in Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.
In Leighton Buzzard, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Leighton Buzzard before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Leighton Buzzard bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.
Most of Bedfordshire 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
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Decisions to make first
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
Rules that apply in England
In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.
