Working in Swanscombe

We work right across Swanscombe — DA10 — and in neighbouring Grays and Gravesend.

Swanscombe gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For shower rooms in Swanscombe, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Swanscombe is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. If your supply in Swanscombe 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

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
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

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Swanscombe: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Swanscombe?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Swanscombe?

Building control for Swanscombe 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.
