Working in Radcliffe

In Radcliffe we cover BL9, M26 and M45; we also cover Whitefield, 1.3 miles away, and Prestwich.

Homes in and around Radcliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your second bathroom in Radcliffe is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Radcliffe 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 Radcliffe, 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
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

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Radcliffe: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Radcliffe?

A shower room in Radcliffe usually costs £4,200–£8,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Radcliffe.

Is the home survey in Radcliffe 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 BL9 in Radcliffe?

Yes. We cover all of Radcliffe, including BL9, M26 and M45, and nearby Whitefield, Prestwich and Bury. 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.
