Working in Barrow in Furness
We work right across Barrow in Furness — LA13, LA14 and LA15 — and in neighbouring Heysham and Morecambe.
In Barrow in Furness, 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 Barrow in Furness, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. In a long, narrow Barrow in Furness en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Water across much of Cumbria is soft. If that holds for your street in Barrow in Furness, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
