Working in Peckham
In Peckham we cover SE5, SE14 and SE15; we also cover Brixton, 1.7 miles away, and Greenwich.
London homes in Peckham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We check the floor under the bath during a Peckham survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Peckham 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 Peckham 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
