Working in Maidenhead
In Maidenhead we cover SL6; we also cover Marlow, 4 miles away, and Slough.
Homes in and around Maidenhead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Maidenhead en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Maidenhead, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Maidenhead 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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.
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
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.
