Working in Daventry

We cover every part of Daventry, including NN11, and nearby Rugby (9 miles) and Northampton (11.7 miles).

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

Water across much of Northamptonshire is hard. If your supply in Daventry 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

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.

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.

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 Daventry: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Daventry?

Is the water hard in Daventry?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Daventry?

Building control for Daventry 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.
