Bathroom Renovation Stevenage

A bathroom renovation is short but dense: drainage, ventilation, electrics, tanking and tiling all inside one small room. The order of work decides the finish. In Stevenage the drainage route and, for council tenants, the landlord's written permission are the two things to settle before the strip out begins.

Where a Stevenage bathroom drains to

Thames Water is the sewerage undertaker for Stevenage, and all wastewater and sewage from the town is treated at Rye Meads on the Hertfordshire and Essex border.

Moving a bath, shower or WC changes the falls on the waste and the connection into the stack. Where a new connection to the public sewer is involved, that is a matter for the undertaker rather than the council. We establish the drainage route at survey, before anything is taken out.

Written permission comes before the strip out in a council home

Tenants of Stevenage Borough Council must have the council's written permission before they carry out alterations or improvements to their home.

A bathroom replacement counts as an improvement, so the request goes in before a start date is agreed. We survey and quote while it is being considered, and hold the programme until the permission is confirmed in writing.

• Floor strengthening before large-format tiles or stone
• Walk-in showers and wet-room installation
• Niches, benches and recessed storage formed in the wet area
• Freestanding and built-in bath installation
• Grout, silicone and trim detailing at completion
