Working in Peterborough

We work right across Peterborough — PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Stamford and March.

In a city the size of Peterborough, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Peterborough bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. For a walk-in shower in Peterborough, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Peterborough 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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Peterborough?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Peterborough?

Building control for Peterborough is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
