Working in Chippenham

We work right across Chippenham — SN14 and SN15 — and in neighbouring Calne and Melksham.

In Chippenham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Chippenham shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. We plan shower rooms in Chippenham around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Most of Wiltshire has hard water. If your supply in Chippenham 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

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
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit

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.

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Chippenham: questions

Is the home survey in Chippenham 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 SN14 and SN15 in Chippenham?

Yes. We cover all of Chippenham, including SN14 and SN15, and nearby Calne, Melksham and Devizes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Chippenham?

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.
