Working in Banstead

We cover every part of Banstead, including KT17, SM2 and SM7, and nearby Sutton (1.9 miles) and Ewell (2.6 miles).

Homes in and around Banstead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your second bathroom in Banstead is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Banstead shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Banstead 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

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Banstead?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Banstead?

Building control for Banstead 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.
