Working in Sandown

As well as Sandown itself (PO36), we survey in Ryde, Newport and Cowes. Because Sandown is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Sandown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the door of your Sandown bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. If you live in a terrace or semi in Sandown 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 the Isle of Wight 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

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
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Sandown?

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
