Working in Billingham

As well as Billingham itself (TS23), we survey in Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and Thornaby-on-Tees.

Homes in and around Billingham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Billingham, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If nobody in your Billingham home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Billingham. 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
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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

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.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Billingham?

Building control for Billingham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
