Working in Thornton-Cleveleys
As well as Thornton-Cleveleys itself (FY2, FY5 and FY6), we survey in Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood and Blackpool.
In Thornton-Cleveleys, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the floor under the bath during a Thornton-Cleveleys survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Thornton-Cleveleys home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Thornton-Cleveleys, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
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.
