Working in Clacton-on-Sea
As well as Clacton-on-Sea itself (CO15), we survey in Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and Harwich.
In Clacton-on-Sea, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For homes in Clacton-on-Sea 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. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Clacton-on-Sea bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.
Water across much of Essex is 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
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- 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
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
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.
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.
