Working in Bournemouth

We cover every part of Bournemouth, including BH1, BH2, BH3 and 8 more postcode districts, and nearby Poole (4.6 miles) and Ferndown (6.1 miles).

Across a large town like Bournemouth, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We measure walk-in showers in Bournemouth so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. For a walk-in shower in Bournemouth, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Bournemouth 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

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

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.

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 water hard in Bournemouth?

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

Building control for Bournemouth 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.
