Working in Farnworth
We cover every part of Farnworth, including BL3, BL4 and M38, and nearby Walkden (2.3 miles) and Bolton (2.7 miles).
In Farnworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have young children at home in Farnworth, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Farnworth household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Bath shape
A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.
Screen or curtain
Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.
Rules that apply in England
In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.
