Working in Wilmslow

In Wilmslow we cover M90, SK8 and SK9; we also cover Bramhall, 3.4 miles away, and Cheadle Hulme.

Homes in and around Wilmslow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the door of your Wilmslow bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. If your Wilmslow bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Water across much of Cheshire is 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover M90 in Wilmslow?

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
