Working in North Watford

As well as North Watford itself (WD2, WD24 and WD25), we survey in Watford, Bushey and Rickmansworth.

Homes in and around North Watford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your second bathroom in North Watford is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your North Watford home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in North Watford is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Who handles building control for a shower room in North Watford?

Will a shower room put buyers off?
