Working in Penzance
In Penzance we cover TR18; we also cover Camborne, 12.5 miles away, and Redruth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penzance: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a listed building in Penzance, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Penzance property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.
Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Decisions to make first
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
