Working in Ashton in Makerfield
In Ashton in Makerfield we cover WA11, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Haydock, 1.7 miles away, and Golborne.
In Ashton in Makerfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a terrace or semi in Ashton in Makerfield with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If the door of your Ashton in Makerfield bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Decisions to make first
Door
Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
Rules that apply in England
In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.
