Working in Lower Earley

As well as Lower Earley itself (RG2, RG5 and RG6), we survey in Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne.

In Lower Earley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Lower Earley shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. We measure walk-in showers in Lower Earley so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Most of Berkshire has hard water. If your supply in Lower Earley 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

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.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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.

Is the home survey in Lower Earley 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 RG2 in Lower Earley?

Yes. We cover all of Lower Earley, including RG2, RG5 and RG6, and nearby Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
