Working in Wellingborough

We work right across Wellingborough — NN8 — and in neighbouring Rushden and Kettering.

Homes in and around Wellingborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where a Wellingborough shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. We plan shower rooms in Wellingborough around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Wellingborough 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

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Wellingborough: questions

Is the home survey in Wellingborough really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NN8 in Wellingborough?

Is the water hard in Wellingborough?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
