Working in Macclesfield

As well as Macclesfield itself (SK9, SK10 and SK11), we survey in Wilmslow, Bramhall and Congleton.

Homes in and around Macclesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a walk-in shower in Macclesfield, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. We measure walk-in showers in Macclesfield so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Macclesfield. 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

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.

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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 Macclesfield 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 SK9 in Macclesfield?

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.
