Working in Letchworth Garden City
As well as Letchworth Garden City itself (SG5, SG6 and SG15), we survey in Hitchin, Stevenage and Biggleswade.
Homes in and around Letchworth Garden City vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Letchworth Garden City home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If your second bathroom in Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City 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
- Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
- 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
- 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.
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.
