Working in Burnley
As well as Burnley itself (BB10 and BB11), we survey in Nelson, Colne and Accrington.
Across a large town like Burnley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Burnley houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your Burnley home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Burnley, 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- 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
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.
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.
