Working in Corby

We cover every part of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering (6.9 miles) and Market Harborough (9.8 miles).

Homes in and around Corby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Corby home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. For shower rooms in Corby, 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 Northamptonshire are hard. If your supply in Corby 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

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Storage

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

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.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
