Working in New Mills

As well as New Mills itself (SK22), we survey in Hazel Grove, Glossop and Bredbury.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in New Mills: free survey, written quote, one team. Where a New Mills shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. For shower rooms in New Mills, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in New Mills. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in New Mills?

Will a shower room put buyers off?
