Working in Nelson

As well as Nelson itself (BB8, BB9 and BB10), we survey in Colne, Burnley and Accrington.

Homes in and around Nelson vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a period house in Nelson with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Nelson property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.

Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan

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.

Luxury bathrooms in Nelson: questions

Is the water hard in Nelson?

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.
