Working in Hemel Hempstead
As well as Hemel Hempstead itself (HP1, HP2 and HP3), we survey in Berkhamsted, St Albans and North Watford.
Hemel Hempstead has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Hemel Hempstead property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. We plan luxury bathrooms in Hemel Hempstead with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.
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
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
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.
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.
