Working in Kempston
We work right across Kempston — MK42 — and in neighbouring Bedford and Ampthill.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kempston: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Kempston shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If your Kempston bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Most of Bedfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Kempston 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Niche
A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
