Working in Tunbridge Wells
We cover every part of Tunbridge Wells, including TN1, TN3 and TN4, and nearby Tonbridge (4.3 miles) and Crowborough (6.6 miles).
In Tunbridge Wells, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tunbridge Wells home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use. For a period house in Tunbridge Wells with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.
Supplies across most of Kent are 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
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
