Working in Canning Town
In Canning Town we cover E13, E14 and E16; we also cover Stratford, 1.6 miles away, and Bow.
London homes in Canning Town often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If the bath in your Canning Town home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Canning Town home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Canning Town 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
