Working in Rochford
As well as Rochford itself (SS4), we survey in Southend-on-Sea, Rayleigh and Hadleigh.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rochford: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a Rochford survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Rochford home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. If your supply in Rochford 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
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.
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.
