Working in Alfreton

As well as Alfreton itself (DE55), we survey in Ripley, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.

Alfreton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan shower rooms in Alfreton around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Alfreton, 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 Derbyshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Alfreton. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Alfreton really free?

Is the water hard in Alfreton?

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.
