Working in Oadby
As well as Oadby itself (LE2), we survey in Wigston Magna, Leicester and Mountsorrel.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oadby: free survey, written quote, one team. We plan shower rooms in Oadby around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Oadby, 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 Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Oadby 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
- Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
- A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
- A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Decisions to make first
Tray size
A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.
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.
