Working in Kippax

We work right across Kippax — LS25, LS26 and WF10 — and in neighbouring Castleford and Pontefract.

Kippax gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan shower rooms in Kippax around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. For shower rooms in Kippax, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Kippax, 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 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
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

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.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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 Kippax: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Kippax?

Is the water hard in Kippax?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Kippax?

Building control for Kippax 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.
