Working in Barnstaple

In Barnstaple we cover EX31 and EX32; we also cover Bideford, 7.9 miles away, and Tiverton.

In Barnstaple, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Barnstaple bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Barnstaple bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Supplies across most of Devon are 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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
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

Decisions to make first

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

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.

Do you cover EX31 and EX32 in Barnstaple?

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
