Working in Letchworth Garden City
As well as Letchworth Garden City itself (SG5, SG6 and SG15), we survey in Hitchin, Stevenage and Biggleswade.
In Letchworth Garden City, 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 Letchworth Garden City with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed. If you live in a listed building in Letchworth Garden City, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.
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
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
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.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
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.
