Working in Lowestoft

We work right across Lowestoft — NR32 and NR33 — and in neighbouring Stowmarket and Ipswich.

In Lowestoft, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Lowestoft, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If nobody in your Lowestoft home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of Suffolk is very hard. If your supply in Lowestoft 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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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.

Is the home survey in Lowestoft really free?

Do you cover NR32 and NR33 in Lowestoft?

Yes. We cover all of Lowestoft, including NR32 and NR33, and nearby Stowmarket, Ipswich and Felixstowe. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
