Working in Leighton Buzzard
As well as Leighton Buzzard itself (LU7), we survey in Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.
Homes in and around Leighton Buzzard vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a small Leighton Buzzard bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If your Leighton Buzzard bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.
Supplies across most of Bedfordshire are very 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
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Tiles and grout
Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.
Rules that apply in England
In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.
