Working in Watford

In Watford we cover WD1, WD17, WD18 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Bushey, 1.7 miles away, and North Watford.

Watford has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fitted furniture suits the many Watford bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. If your Watford 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
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
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste

Decisions to make first

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Worktop

Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to 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.

Fitted bathrooms in Watford: questions

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Watford?

A fitted bathroom in Watford usually costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Watford?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Watford?

Building control for Watford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
