Working in Cheadle Hulme

We cover every part of Cheadle Hulme, including SK3, SK7 and SK8, and nearby Bramhall (1.6 miles) and Stockport (2.7 miles).

In Cheadle Hulme, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If nobody in your Cheadle Hulme home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. Where a Cheadle Hulme shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Cheadle Hulme, 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 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
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
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.
