Working in Guildford
In Guildford we cover GU1, GU2 and GU4; we also cover Godalming, 3.8 miles away, and Woking.
In Guildford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a small Guildford bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If the door of your Guildford bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
Water across much of Surrey 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
- 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
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.
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.
