Working in Braintree

We work right across Braintree — CM7 and CM77 — and in neighbouring Witham and Chelmsford.

In Braintree, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We plan luxury bathrooms in Braintree with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed. If your Braintree home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.

Water across much of Essex is 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

A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking

Decisions to make first

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.

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

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 home survey in Braintree really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CM7 and CM77 in Braintree?

Yes. We cover all of Braintree, including CM7 and CM77, and nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a bathroom feel luxurious?

Space around the fittings, warmth underfoot, good light and fewer visible fixings make a bathroom feel luxurious. Concealed valves and cisterns, large tiles with tight grout lines, frameless glass and lighting on dimmers matter more than any single expensive piece.
