Working in Witney

As well as Witney itself (OX28), we survey in Carterton, Oxford and Abingdon.

Homes in and around Witney vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For shower rooms in Witney, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Witney is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Oxfordshire are hard. If your supply in Witney 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit

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.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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 Witney: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Witney?

A shower room in Witney usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover OX28 in Witney?

Is the water hard in Witney?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Witney?

Building control for Witney 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.
