Working in Stanford-le-Hope
We work right across Stanford-le-Hope — SS16 and SS17 — and in neighbouring Basildon and Pitsea.
Homes in and around Stanford-le-Hope vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Stanford-le-Hope property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. We plan luxury bathrooms in Stanford-le-Hope with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.
Most of Essex has very hard water. 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
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
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.
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.
