Working in Burton upon Trent
We work right across Burton upon Trent — DE14 and DE15 — and in neighbouring Swadlincote and Derby.
Burton upon Trent has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Burton upon Trent property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. For a period house in Burton upon Trent with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire 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
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
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.
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.
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.
