Working in Chalfont St Peter

As well as Chalfont St Peter itself (SL9), we survey in Gerrards Cross, Rickmansworth and Amersham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Chalfont St Peter: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are converting a bathroom in Chalfont St Peter into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If nobody in your Chalfont St Peter home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Chalfont St Peter 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 survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
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

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.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
