Working in Cirencester

We cover every part of Cirencester, including GL7, and nearby Stroud (10 miles) and Cheltenham (13.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cirencester: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Cirencester home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. Where a Cirencester shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. If your supply in Cirencester 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

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
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 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.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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 water hard in Cirencester?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Cirencester?

Building control for Cirencester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Cirencester.

Will a shower room put buyers off?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
