Working in Ashton in Makerfield
We work right across Ashton in Makerfield — WA11, WA12 and WN4 — and in neighbouring Haydock and Golborne.
In Ashton in Makerfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Ashton in Makerfield, 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 Ashton in Makerfield home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Ashton in Makerfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
- Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
