Working in Blackpool

We work right across Blackpool — FY1, FY2, FY3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys.

Blackpool has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are converting a bathroom in Blackpool into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. For shower rooms in Blackpool, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Blackpool, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
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.

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.

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 Blackpool?

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.
