Working in Harpenden

As well as Harpenden itself (AL5), we survey in St Albans, Luton and Hemel Hempstead.

Homes in and around Harpenden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Harpenden before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Harpenden bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.

Water across much of Hertfordshire 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

A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
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

Wall-hung or floor-standing

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

Furniture finish

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

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.
