Working in Haywards Heath

In Haywards Heath we cover RH16; we also cover Burgess Hill, 3 miles away, and Crawley.

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

Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Haywards Heath 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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 Haywards Heath?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Haywards Heath?

Building control for Haywards Heath 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.
