Working in Stanford-le-Hope
We cover every part of Stanford-le-Hope, including SS16 and SS17, and nearby Basildon (3.3 miles) and Pitsea (4.3 miles).
In Stanford-le-Hope, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stanford-le-Hope 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 Stanford-le-Hope with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.
Most of Essex has very hard water. 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
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Glass
Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
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.
