Working in Lowestoft
As well as Lowestoft itself (NR32 and NR33), we survey in Stowmarket, Ipswich and Felixstowe.
In Lowestoft, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For homes in Lowestoft where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible. Whether your Lowestoft bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.
Supplies across most of Suffolk 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
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
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.
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.
