Working in Wellingborough

As well as Wellingborough itself (NN8), we survey in Rushden, Kettering and Northampton.

In Wellingborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a period house in Wellingborough with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. If your Wellingborough home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.

Most of Northamptonshire has 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

A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches

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.

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

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 Wellingborough?

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.
