Bathrooms by Michael Van Heel.
Sharing some examples of my work and some tips to consider when purchasing, hiring tradies and safety.

Some tips for bathrooms:

Safety first.
•Get your plumbing and electrical installed by licensed professionals.
•There are very specific safety regulations for bathroom lighting, heating, lighting switches and power sockets.
• Check these regulations especially before buying lights and heating.

Shower bases:

Plumbers install shower bases, it is part of their job.

While I used to also do plastering and tiling (see photo 2 for example), my work specifically for bathrooms now focuses on cabinetry, doors, shelving, mirrors and wall paneling. I can make you something to your design that is custom made and exactly what you want. Comparatively, custom made is often cheaper than something bought off the shelf.

I love my work and an important part of it is building trusting, respectful relationships with clients, a strong foundation for working together.

My work ranges from the smallest carpentry projects right through to full home renovations.

I am really happy to work with client designs together with my 30+ years of carpentry knowledge and experience.

Until next time,

Michael
