Working in Letchworth Garden City
We cover every part of Letchworth Garden City, including SG5, SG6 and SG15, and nearby Hitchin (3.2 miles) and Stevenage (5.4 miles).
In Letchworth Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a small Letchworth Garden City bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If nobody in your Letchworth Garden City home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is 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
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
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.
