Following recommendation from another customer, this client asked us to provide a quotation for a new central heating system and main bathroom. 

The requirement for the new bathroom was based on it's lack of bath - our client had moved in some time since but a new job with more responsibility had meant that the need to be able to relax was ever more important, and for that a bath was required!

The central heating system was old and the boiler had failed on a number of occasions - not only that but the hot water cylinder occupied a large space in the bathroom meaning the installation of a bath was impossible without some works taking place.

For the central heating system we suggested conversion to a condensing combination boiler, a Viessman Vitodens 100 35KW model with 5 year warranty and high hot water flow rates was chosen to make bathing practical (some smaller combi boilers struggle to fill baths in an adequate time frame) whilst the warranty would provide peace of mind.

With the hot water cylinder out of the way, we were able to demolish the airing cupboard and also the wall behind it which adjoined the bedroom.  This had been added in the past by someone and had stolen a great deal of space from the bedroom whilst not offering much to the bedroom.  By demolishing and re-building we were able to claw back approximately 1 foot in the bedroom whilst making the space in the bathroom square and large enough to install a bath.

Luxurious vanity units from Utopia complete with a solid surface worktop and a clever Manhattan swift seal shower screen finish this room off.

Our client is very impressed with the room and is now ready to begin their new role!
