Working in Acocks Green

We work right across Acocks Green — B25, B26 and B27 — and in neighbouring Shirley and Solihull.

In Acocks Green, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Acocks Green shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If your second bathroom in Acocks Green is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Acocks Green. 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
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Acocks Green?

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.
