Working in Hertford

We cover every part of Hertford, including SG13 and SG14, and nearby Ware (2.4 miles) and Hoddesdon (3.7 miles).

In Hertford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If nobody in your Hertford home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If your second bathroom in Hertford is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Hertford 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

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
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
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.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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.

Shower rooms in Hertford: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Hertford?

A shower room in Hertford usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Hertford?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Hertford?

Building control for Hertford 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.
