Working in Marlow

As well as Marlow itself (SL7), we survey in Maidenhead, High Wycombe and Slough.

Marlow gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Marlow bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If you live in a terrace or semi in Marlow with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is 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

Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
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

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.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

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.

How small can a bathroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bathroom in an existing home; the limit is what you can use comfortably. A shower room with an 800 mm tray, a compact basin and a WC can work in about 2 m². A room with a bath needs at least one wall as long as the bath, usually 1500 to 1700 mm, plus space in front of the WC and basin.
