Working in Stanford-le-Hope
In Stanford-le-Hope we cover SS16 and SS17; we also cover Basildon, 3.3 miles away, and Pitsea.
In Stanford-le-Hope, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For homes in Stanford-le-Hope 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. Whether your Stanford-le-Hope bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.
Most of Essex 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
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- 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
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
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.
