Working in Stroud
In Stroud we cover GL5, GL6 and GL10; we also cover Gloucester, 8.2 miles away, and Cirencester.
In Stroud, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Stroud houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Stroud survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. If your supply in Stroud 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 glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
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.
