Working in Ashford
In Ashford we cover TN23 and TN24; we also cover Faversham, 11.6 miles away, and Canterbury.
In Ashford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Ashford property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. If you live in a listed building in Ashford, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.
Most of Kent 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
