Working in Chadderton
We cover every part of Chadderton, including OL1, OL8 and OL9, and nearby Oldham (0.9 miles) and Royton (1.6 miles).
Homes in and around Chadderton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Chadderton home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. We check the floor under the bath during a Chadderton survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Chadderton, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- 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
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.
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.
