Working in Telford
We cover every part of Telford, including TF4, and nearby Shrewsbury (12.9 miles) and Wolverhampton (15.1 miles).
Telford has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If someone in your Telford home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Telford survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Telford. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
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.
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.
