Working in Barrow in Furness
As well as Barrow in Furness itself (LA13, LA14 and LA15), we survey in Heysham, Morecambe and Fleetwood.
In Barrow in Furness, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Barrow in Furness home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. If your Barrow in Furness home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.
Most of Cumbria 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
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
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.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
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.
