Working in Maidenhead

As well as Maidenhead itself (SL6), we survey in Marlow, Slough and Windsor.

In Maidenhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Maidenhead, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If you are converting a bathroom in Maidenhead into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Maidenhead is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Shower rooms in Maidenhead: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Maidenhead?

A shower room in Maidenhead usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Maidenhead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SL6 in Maidenhead?

Yes. We cover all of Maidenhead, including SL6, and nearby Marlow, Slough and Windsor. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Maidenhead?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
