Working in Welwyn Garden City
In Welwyn Garden City we cover AL7 and AL8; we also cover Hatfield, 2.8 miles away, and Hertford.
In Welwyn Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Welwyn Garden City before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Welwyn Garden City 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
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
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.
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.
