Bathroom fitters Sittingbourne: refits, shower rooms and wet rooms
Sittingbourne lies east of Medway, out along the A2 from the Rochester base, in the borough of Swale. Bathroom work there is booked as a single block, with the scope agreed in writing after a visit and Danny on site each working day until the new bathroom, shower room or wet room is finished and tested.
Brick and paper boom terraces
After the railway arrived in 1858, Sittingbourne grew into a production town making bricks and paper from its clay, and many of its terraces date from that boom. Across Swale, 29.8% of homes are terraced. Bathrooms in houses of this kind are usually compact, often squeezed in at the back or over the stairs, and reached up a narrow staircase that limits how big a bath or tray can be carried up.
In a small room the layout matters more than the suite. Keeping the soil pipe where it is and rethinking where the basin and shower go is often how a compact bathroom gains space without the cost of moving the main waste.
Heating and hot water
Across Swale, 78.5% of homes rely on mains gas alone for heating, so most bathroom refits work around an existing combi or system boiler. The shower is chosen to suit the hot water supply that is already there, and any change to the boiler or gas pipework is left to a Gas Safe engineer. Extractor fans are looked at as part of the job, with any wiring changes left to a qualified electrician.
Wet rooms in Sittingbourne
A level access wet room appeals to many owners, but whether one suits a particular house depends on the floor. On a joisted upper floor, the boards come up and a shaped former is set in to create the fall. The wet rooms page explains how a room is tanked, drained and tiled, and when a low tray is the safer choice.
