Working in Great Malvern

We work right across Great Malvern — WR14 — and in neighbouring Ledbury and Worcester.

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

Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Great Malvern. 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Do you cover WR14 in Great Malvern?

Is the water hard in Great Malvern?

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.
