Working in Catford
As well as Catford itself (SE4, SE6 and SE13), we survey in Blackheath, Greenwich and Beckenham.
London homes in Catford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If the bath in your Catford home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Catford 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 Catford 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
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.
