Working in Stoke-on-Trent

In Stoke-on-Trent we cover ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Newcastle under Lyme, 2 miles away, and Kidsgrove.

In a city the size of Stoke-on-Trent, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We plan shower rooms in Stoke-on-Trent around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If nobody in your Stoke-on-Trent home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

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 Stoke-on-Trent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

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.

Is the water hard in Stoke-on-Trent?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Stoke-on-Trent?

Building control for Stoke-on-Trent 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.
