A plant cupboard, from bare walls to a finished system

A narrow cupboard with an Ideal boiler on the wall and nothing else. The work was everything around it: running the heating pipework, fitting the expansion vessel and system filter, and putting in the valves so the whole system works as one.

What you can see

An Ideal boiler on the wall, with an expansion vessel beside it
Copper pipework in straight, square runs, clipped at regular spacing
A filter on the pipework to catch sludge before it reaches the boiler
Motorised valves for separate heating circuits

Look at the pipe runs. They sit parallel with square bends, and every one is clipped. That is what makes a system easy to service years later.

An Ideal boiler, a stainless-steel unvented hot water cylinder and an expansion vessel fitted on a blockwork wall, with copper pipework running between them.

Heating · Boiler and hot water cylinder

Boiler and unvented cylinder on one wall

A boiler, a stainless-steel unvented hot water cylinder and an expansion vessel, all fitted and piped on one blockwork wall. An unvented cylinder gives mains-pressure hot water, which is what makes upstairs showers work properly.

What you can see

An Ideal boiler with a stainless-steel unvented cylinder beside it
A separate expansion vessel for the heating circuit
Heating and hot water pipework in copper, grouped in bundles and clipped up the wall

The wall is not boxed in yet, so the whole layout is visible. Pipes run in tidy parallel bundles rather than crossing over each other.

An Ideal boiler fitted in a cupboard, with three clipped copper pipes running down its right-hand side and a filter on the pipework.

Heating · Boiler installation

A boiler in a cupboard, with the pipes kept tidy

An Ideal boiler in a tight cupboard, with the pipework coming down one side in three clipped runs. A cupboard leaves no room to hide mistakes, so the layout has to be right before the first pipe goes up.

What you can see

An Ideal boiler on the wall of a built-in cupboard
Three copper pipe runs, evenly spaced and clipped
A system filter fitted on the pipework beside the boiler

The three pipes run parallel with an even gap all the way down.

A freestanding white bath under a window in a bathroom tiled in dark slate-effect tiles.

A dark slate bathroom with a freestanding bath

Large slate-effect tiles run from floor to ceiling, so the room reads as one calm, dark space. The freestanding bath sits under the window with a chrome tap beside it.

What you can see

Large-format tiles with tight, even joints, cut neatly round the window
A freestanding bath with a chrome tap

The tile joints line up across the corner and around the window. On big tiles that takes planning before the first one goes on.

A shower enclosure with a brushed-brass frame and rain shower, grey marble-effect panels, and a brass heated towel rail beside it. — Brass-framed shower and heated towel rail.

Bathrooms · Full refit

A green and brass bathroom with fluted tiles

A bathroom with a point of view: deep green walls, fluted tiles edged in brass, and brushed-brass fittings throughout. Every fitting is the same finish, which is what makes it look designed rather than assembled.

A bath with a brass tap set and hand shower on the rim
A shower with a brass rain head, inside a brass-framed enclosure
A brass heated towel rail and a round backlit mirror

Matching finishes only work when every pipe and valve is in the right place before the tiles go on. That is the part you cannot see in the photos.

A white freestanding bath with a floor-standing tap in a bathroom with a sloping ceiling, tiled in grey with wood-effect flooring.

Bathrooms · Sloping ceiling

A freestanding bath under a sloping ceiling

Rooms under a roof slope are awkward: headroom is short, and every tile on a sloping wall is a cut. Here the freestanding bath is tucked under the slope, where the height is no use for anything else, with its tap standing on the floor behind it.

What you can see

A freestanding bath with a floor-standing bath and shower mixer
Grey tiles cut to follow the slope of the ceiling on both sides
Wood-effect flooring

Follow the tile line where the wall meets the roof slope. The cuts are clean and even all the way up.
