Working in Shipley

We work right across Shipley — BD10, BD17 and BD18 — and in neighbouring Baildon and Bradford.

In Shipley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Shipley, 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 Shipley 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 Shipley, 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
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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.

Is the water hard in Shipley?

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.
