Working in Ormskirk

We work right across Ormskirk — L39 and WN8 — and in neighbouring Maghull and Skelmersdale.

Ormskirk gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where a Ormskirk shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If nobody in your Ormskirk home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Ormskirk, 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
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

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

Is the water hard in Ormskirk?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Ormskirk?

Building control for Ormskirk 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.
