Working in Castleford

As well as Castleford itself (WF6 and WF10), we survey in Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse.

In Castleford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are converting a bathroom in Castleford into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If nobody in your Castleford home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Castleford, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Castleford: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Castleford?

A shower room in Castleford usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Castleford really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WF6 and WF10 in Castleford?

Yes. We cover all of Castleford, including WF6 and WF10, and nearby Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Castleford?

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.
