Working in Long Eaton

In Long Eaton we cover DE72, NG9 and NG10; we also cover Ilkeston, 5.2 miles away, and Nottingham.

Homes in and around Long Eaton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Long Eaton, 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 Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton. 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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
