Working in Northolt

We cover every part of Northolt, including HA2, UB5 and UB6, and nearby Greenford (1.5 miles) and Harrow (2.6 miles).

London homes in Northolt often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For shower rooms in Northolt, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If nobody in your Northolt home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Northolt 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

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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Storage

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

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 Northolt?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Northolt?

Building control for Northolt 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.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
