Working in Farnham

We work right across Farnham — GU9 and GU10 — and in neighbouring Aldershot and Fleet.

Homes in and around Farnham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan shower rooms in Farnham around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If your second bathroom in Farnham is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Farnham 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

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
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

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.

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.

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 Farnham?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
