Working in Billingham
As well as Billingham itself (TS23), we survey in Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and Thornaby-on-Tees.
Homes in and around Billingham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Billingham bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Billingham en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Billingham. 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 thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Decisions to make first
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
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.
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.
