Working in Wilmslow
As well as Wilmslow itself (M90, SK8 and SK9), we survey in Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove.
In Wilmslow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Wilmslow, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Wilmslow bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wilmslow. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- 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.
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.
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.
