Oldham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We plan shower rooms in Oldham around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Oldham, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Oldham, 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

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.

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 Oldham really free?

Yes. We cover all of Oldham, including M35, OL1, OL4, OL8 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Middleton, Ashton-under-Lyne and Droylsden. 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.
