Working in Belper
As well as Belper itself (DE56), we survey in Ripley, Heanor and Alfreton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Belper: free survey, written quote, one team. If your second bathroom in Belper is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Belper home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.
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 Belper. 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
- Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
- A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
- A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
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.
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.
