Working in Paignton
In Paignton we cover TQ2, TQ3 and TQ4; we also cover Torquay, 2.6 miles away, and Brixham.
In Paignton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Paignton before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. For homes in Paignton where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Bath, shower or both
Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
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.
