Working in Heckmondwike
We work right across Heckmondwike — WF13, WF15 and WF16 — and in neighbouring Liversedge and Batley.
Heckmondwike gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the floor under the bath during a Heckmondwike survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Heckmondwike home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Heckmondwike, 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
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.
