Working in Maghull
As well as Maghull itself (L31), we survey in Kirkby, Litherland and Ormskirk.
In Maghull, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Maghull houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your Maghull home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Maghull, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
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.
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.
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.
