Working in Lofthouse

In Lofthouse we cover LS10, LS26 and WF3; we also cover Wakefield, 3.2 miles away, and Morley.

Lofthouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For shower rooms in Lofthouse, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Lofthouse is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Lofthouse, 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

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
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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.

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Lofthouse: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Lofthouse?

A shower room in Lofthouse usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Lofthouse.

Is the home survey in Lofthouse 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 LS10 in Lofthouse?

Yes. We cover all of Lofthouse, including LS10, LS26 and WF3, and nearby Wakefield, Morley and Ossett. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
