Working in Caterham

In Caterham we cover CR3, CR6 and RH9; we also cover Coulsdon, 3.7 miles away, and Purley.

Caterham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a listed building in Caterham, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall. If your Caterham home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. 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

Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
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

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.

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.

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 Caterham?

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.
