Working in Barnstaple
As well as Barnstaple itself (EX31 and EX32), we survey in Bideford, Tiverton and Exeter.
In Barnstaple, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Barnstaple property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. For a period house in Barnstaple with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.
Supplies across most of Devon are soft. 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
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
Decisions to make first
Brassware finish
Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.
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.
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.
