Working in Thornton-Cleveleys

As well as Thornton-Cleveleys itself (FY2, FY5 and FY6), we survey in Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood and Blackpool.

Homes in and around Thornton-Cleveleys vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Thornton-Cleveleys home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Thornton-Cleveleys around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Thornton-Cleveleys, 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 low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

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.
