Working in Great Sankey

In Great Sankey we cover WA5; we also cover Warrington, 2.5 miles away, and Newton-le-Willows.

Homes in and around Great Sankey vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Great Sankey home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. If you live in a listed building in Great Sankey, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting

Decisions to make first

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Is the water hard in Great Sankey?

What does a steam shower need?

A steam shower is a fully sealed enclosure or room with a generator that fills it with steam. It needs its own electrical circuit, a sealed door, usually a sloped ceiling so condensation runs off rather than dripping, full tanking and a drain. It has to be planned into the room from the start, not added later.
