Working in Cheadle Hulme
In Cheadle Hulme we cover SK3, SK7 and SK8; we also cover Bramhall, 1.6 miles away, and Stockport.
Homes in and around Cheadle Hulme vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If someone in your Cheadle Hulme home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Cheadle Hulme home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Cheadle Hulme, 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
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
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.
