Working in Ilkeston

We cover every part of Ilkeston, including DE7 and NG10, and nearby Eastwood (2.1 miles) and Heanor (3.5 miles).

Homes in and around Ilkeston vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a period house in Ilkeston with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. We plan luxury bathrooms in Ilkeston with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.

Water across much of Derbyshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
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.

Freestanding bath material

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.

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.

Is the water hard in Ilkeston?

What does a steam shower need?

A steam shower is a fully sealed enclosure or room with a generator that fills it with steam. It needs its own electrical circuit, a sealed door, usually a sloped ceiling so condensation runs off rather than dripping, full tanking and a drain. It has to be planned into the room from the start, not added later.
