Working in Amersham on the Hill

Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote.

For shower rooms in Amersham on the Hill, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Amersham on the Hill 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
- A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
- Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Decisions to make first
Tray or level floor
A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.
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.
