Working in Oswestry
We work right across Oswestry — SY11 — and in neighbouring Shrewsbury and Wellington.
Oswestry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a Oswestry flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. For an en-suite in Oswestry, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.
Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Oswestry. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
Decisions to make first
Exposed or concealed valve
An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.
