Working in Burton upon Trent

As well as Burton upon Trent itself (DE14 and DE15), we survey in Swadlincote, Derby and Lichfield.

Burton upon Trent has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Where a Burton upon Trent shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. We plan shower rooms in Burton upon Trent around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Burton upon Trent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

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.

Storage

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

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.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
