Working in Bletchley

We work right across Bletchley — MK1, MK2 and MK3 — and in neighbouring Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard.

In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow Bletchley en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. We measure walk-in showers in Bletchley so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Bletchley 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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 water hard in Bletchley?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
