Working in Melton Mowbray

As well as Melton Mowbray itself (LE13 and LE14), we survey in Oakham, Mountsorrel and Loughborough.

In Melton Mowbray, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your second bathroom in Melton Mowbray is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Melton Mowbray shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. If your supply in Melton Mowbray 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Melton Mowbray: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Melton Mowbray?

Is the water hard in Melton Mowbray?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Melton Mowbray?

Building control for Melton Mowbray 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.
