Working in Berkhamsted

In Berkhamsted we cover HP4; we also cover Chesham, 4.4 miles away, and Hemel Hempstead.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Berkhamsted: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Berkhamsted home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. For a period house in Berkhamsted with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.

Water across much of Hertfordshire 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 product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Berkhamsted?

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.
