Working in Falmouth

We cover every part of Falmouth, including TR11, and nearby Truro (7.7 miles) and Redruth (8.7 miles).

Homes in and around Falmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan shower rooms in Falmouth around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Falmouth, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Falmouth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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.

Is the home survey in Falmouth really free?

Do you cover TR11 in Falmouth?

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
