Working in Newmarket
In Newmarket we cover CB8; we also cover Haverhill, 11.3 miles away, and Ely.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newmarket: free survey, written quote, one team. For Newmarket houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If the bath in your Newmarket home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Newmarket is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
