Working in Barnet

We cover every part of Barnet, including EN4, EN5, HA8 and 7 more postcode districts, and nearby Potters Bar (3.1 miles) and Borehamwood (3.3 miles).

In Barnet, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For shower rooms in Barnet, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If you are converting a bathroom in Barnet into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Barnet 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Barnet?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
