Working in Cowley
We work right across Cowley — OX1, OX3 and OX4 — and in neighbouring Oxford and Abingdon.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cowley: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a listed building in Cowley, 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 Cowley property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.
Most of Oxfordshire 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
- 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
- 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
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
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.
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.
