Working in Ferndown
We cover every part of Ferndown, including BH22, and nearby Wimborne Minster (4 miles) and Bournemouth (6.1 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ferndown: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Ferndown home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Ferndown survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Ferndown 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
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.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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.
