Working in Gosport

In Gosport we cover PO12 and PO13; we also cover Portsmouth, 1.7 miles away, and Southsea.

Gosport has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We plan shower rooms in Gosport around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If you are converting a bathroom in Gosport into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Gosport is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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 low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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.

Is the water hard in Gosport?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
