Working in Stowmarket

As well as Stowmarket itself (IP14), we survey in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stowmarket: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a terrace or semi in Stowmarket with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If the door of your Stowmarket bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Supplies across most of Suffolk 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

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

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.

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.

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 home survey in Stowmarket really free?

Do you cover IP14 in Stowmarket?

Yes. We cover all of Stowmarket, including IP14, and nearby Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
