Working in Tyldesley

We cover every part of Tyldesley, including M29, M38 and M46, and nearby Atherton (1.3 miles) and Leigh (2.5 miles).

Homes in and around Tyldesley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your second bathroom in Tyldesley is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Tyldesley shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Tyldesley, 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

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit

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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Tyldesley?

How long does a shower room take?

Will a shower room put buyers off?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
