Working in Hitchin
We work right across Hitchin — SG6 — and in neighbouring Letchworth Garden City and Stevenage.
In Hitchin, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Hitchin bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. We survey in Hitchin before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire 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
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- 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
- 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.
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.
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.
