Working in Braintree

We work right across Braintree — CM7 and CM77 — and in neighbouring Witham and Chelmsford.

Homes in and around Braintree vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Braintree bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Braintree 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.

Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. 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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
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

Wall-hung or floor-standing

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

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.

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.
