Working in Poole

In Poole we cover BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Bournemouth, 4.6 miles away, and Ferndown.

Poole has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For shower rooms in Poole, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. We plan shower rooms in Poole around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Poole is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Poole: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Poole?

A shower room in Poole usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Poole.

Is the home survey in Poole really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BH12 in Poole?

Yes. We cover all of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
