Originally a separate toilet and bathroom as with so many houses of this period, the bathroom felt confined.  A secondary requirement for a new boiler left our customer in a position to choose where to locate it and as such it was placed in the bathroom as this was seen to be least intrusive with regards to the bedrooms and kitchen which would shortly be demolished and re-built anyway.

We were asked to design a new bathroom bearing these points in mind, hopefully removing the wall which divided the two rooms adding a bath AND separate shower and also construct something around the boiler.

We designed a new room layout, moving the bath under the window to free up space and moving the WC to the center of the old bath wall which allowed for the installation of a new shower enclosure, lastly a cupboard complete with pine door was built around the boiler leaving a neat finish.

AWI designed, specified, supplied and installed this bathroom.

From start to finish the job included:

• Removal of the existing suite, wall & floor coverings
• Demolition of the dividing wall
• Removal of both door casings and construction of a new door casing across the landing including re-hanging of one of the existing doors and skimming of the outside wall
• Removal of the loft hatch within the bathroom (it used to reside outside the two doors and as such once the new doorway was installed it would have been in the bathroom which was undesirable), installation of a new loft hatch on the landing and loft ladder
• Construction of a new false partition for the shower to sit flush against - necessary due to the soil pipe running up the wall within the room - continuation of this full height stud as a low level pipe case behind the toilet to conceal the soil pipe
• Construction of a new cupboard around the boiler including hanging a new door
• Preparation of the walls including re-dry-lining as required
• Re-plumbing as required to support the new layout
• Installation of PVC ceiling cladding
• Installation of a 6 * IPx4 mains voltage halogen down-lighters
• Walls fully tiled (ceramic tiles)
• Floor fully tiled (porcelain tiles)
• Installation of the new bathroom suite including large offset quadrant shower enclosure with thermostatic mixer shower, separate bath, WC, vanity unit basin, chrome towel rail and accessories
