In Letchworth Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Letchworth Garden City bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Letchworth Garden City bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.
Most of Hertfordshire 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

- 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.
