Working in Tyldesley
We work right across Tyldesley — M29, M38 and M46 — and in neighbouring Atherton and Leigh.
Homes in and around Tyldesley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a busy Tyldesley household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. Whether your Tyldesley bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.
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
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Decisions to make first
Shower over the bath or separate
A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.
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.
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.
