Working in Hereford

In Hereford we cover HR1 and HR4; we also cover Ross on Wye, 11.6 miles away, and Leominster.

Hereford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If nobody in your Hereford home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Hereford around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Supplies across most of Herefordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hereford. 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
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
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

Storage

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

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.

What is the price of a shower room in Hereford?

Is the water hard in Hereford?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Hereford?

Building control for Hereford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
