Bathrooms for owners who are staying put

Ownership sets the brief on this work. At the 2021 census, 69.6 per cent of households in the six Cheshunt middle layer super output areas owned their home outright or with a mortgage. An owner is specifying a bathroom to live with rather than to let, so the budget belongs in the parts that are hard to put right later.

That is why the sequence puts the invisible work first. The waste route, the falls to the shower gully, the tanking behind the tiles and the extract fan are all fixed before a single tile goes on. Tiling over a compromise in any of those is the reason bathrooms come back for a second go.

Housing in Cheshunt

Cheshunt's housing, as the Council Tax list records it, is about 18,660 homes: 75% houses, 25% flats, with 6% pre-1919, 9% interwar and 84% built since 1945. 41% of homes here are terraced; a terrace bathroom in Cheshunt vents front, back or up, never into a party wall.

Bathrooms in Cheshunt flats

One in five Cheshunt households lives in a flat, and a bathroom in a flat is a different job. At the 2021 census, 20.6 per cent of Cheshunt households lived in a purpose built block of flats and 10.6 per cent in a detached house. In a flat the ceiling below belongs to somebody else, so the tanking, the falls and the pipe route are the whole job rather than a detail of it.

The lease comes first in a flat. Alterations are governed by it, so the freeholder or managing agent is approached before dates are booked, and access, working hours and waste removal are agreed with the building. Where a wall is moving and it turns out to be structural, an engineer is appointed and building control is notified, exactly as in a house.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Bathroom Renovation Cheshunt

Can you quote bathroom renovation for an EN8 property over the phone?

GS Renovation will not give a real quotation for bathroom renovation in Cheshunt over the phone, only the range, £6,000 to £20,000 or more (London-derived). On 07472 424 226 we can explain what moves the cost and whether the job needs building regulations compliance for any new drainage, extraction or notifiable electrics, but the EN8 property has to be seen first. Builders who quote blind across Cheshunt revise the figure once the floor or walls are opened.

Is an extract fan needed in a bathroom that already has an opening window?

An extract fan is what the Building Regulations look for, at 15 litres a second, and a window is not treated as a substitute where a new installation goes in. In a room without a window, an overrun timer is added. Across the six areas covering Cheshunt, 32.3 per cent of council tax properties date from 1945 to 1964, and a bathroom of that age may have no ducted extract at all, so the route out is planned before tiling.

Does adding a second bathroom need building control approval?

Yes, on several counts: the new drainage connection, the electrical work, and any joists notched or trimmed to take the pipework. Hertfordshire Building Control inspects those items for Broxbourne before they are covered. Where the new room takes space from a landing or bedroom, ventilation and the door position are looked at too. The application goes in before first fix, not once the room is tiled.

Will the floor take a freestanding bath in an older house?

That is checked before the bath is ordered, because a filled bath with a bather in it is a concentrated load on joists sized for a different fitting. In the six areas covering Cheshunt, 25.5 per cent of council tax properties were built between 1955 and 1964. Joist size, span and direction are measured, notching for pipework is kept within the permitted zones, and extra support is added where the position calls for it.

Can a socket or a heated mirror go in a Cheshunt bathroom?

Only outside the wet zones, apart from a shaver supply unit, which is allowed outside zone 1. A heated mirror or demister pad needs an appropriately rated fitting and a supply outside the zones. A new circuit, or a change to a circuit in the zones, is notifiable electrical work, certified by a registered electrician or notified to Hertfordshire Building Control, the body covering the Borough of Broxbourne. Positions are marked on the drawing at first fix, before tiling starts.
