Working in Canning Town
In Canning Town we cover E13, E14 and E16; we also cover Stratford, 1.6 miles away, and Bow.
London homes in Canning Town often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We plan shower rooms in Canning Town around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If you are converting a bathroom in Canning Town 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 Canning Town 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
- A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
- Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
- A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
- Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
