Bathroom Renovation Hatfield

A bathroom renovation is short, dense and disruptive, because water, waste, power and finishes all land in one small room. GS Renovation runs it as one contractor, from strip out and first fix through waterproofing, tiling and second fix, and coordinates building control where the work is notifiable. Quotations are free and carry no obligation.

The drainage side of a bathroom refit

Hertfordshire Building Control names drainage as one of the items its inspectors examine on site. Moving a WC, a soil connection or a shower waste changes falls and pipe runs, and that is settled before any tiling starts rather than after. Where the layout stays where it is, the drainage design is unchanged and the work is simpler.

Bathrooms in flats and converted homes

At the 2021 census, 9,820 households in Welwyn Hatfield, or 21.3 per cent, were in a purpose-built block of flats or tenement. In a flat the waste connects into a shared stack and the lease sets what an owner may alter, so both are checked before a layout is changed.

An Article 4 Direction confirmed in April 2011 removes the permitted development right to convert homes into houses in multiple occupation in Hatfield. Adding bathrooms as part of a conversion of that kind is a planning question first, and the fit-out follows the council's decision rather than running ahead of it.

• Tanking membranes and waterproof boards behind tiles
• Freestanding and built-in bath installation
• Drainage falls set to the gully in wet rooms
• Underfloor heating and heated towel rails
• Pressure and leak testing before any tiling starts

Trusted Bathroom Renovation in Hatfield

Where it is the only bathroom in the house, the job is judged by how many days the room is out of use. We plan the strip out, first fix, waterproofing, tiling and second fix as a continuous run under one point of contact, rather than as separate trades booked apart and left to collide. Where drainage or electrical work makes it necessary, the building control application and inspection are coordinated for you. We are fully insured and the quotation is free.

• Free, no-obligation quotations
• Materials priced at options, so you choose the finish
• Fully insured, with cover in place on every site
• Building control applications and inspections coordinated for you
• Falls set to the gully so a wet room actually drains
• Concealed frames and cisterns set out for the finished tile line
