Working in Bishops Stortford
In Bishops Stortford we cover CM23; we also cover Harlow, 6.8 miles away, and Ware.
Homes in and around Bishops Stortford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Bishops Stortford home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If your Bishops Stortford 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 Hertfordshire 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
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Decisions to make first
WC type
A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.
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.
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.
