Working in Coulsdon

We work right across Coulsdon — CR5, CR8 and SM7 — and in neighbouring Purley and Banstead.

In Coulsdon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We plan shower rooms in Coulsdon around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. Where a Coulsdon shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Coulsdon 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

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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

Is the home survey in Coulsdon 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 CR5 in Coulsdon?

Yes. We cover all of Coulsdon, including CR5, CR8 and SM7, and nearby Purley, Banstead and Sutton. 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.
