Working in Scarborough

In Scarborough we cover YO11 and YO12; we also cover Guisborough, 31.6 miles away, and Redcar.

Homes in and around Scarborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a listed building in Scarborough, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Scarborough property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.

Supplies across most of North Yorkshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Scarborough?

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.
