Working in Poole

In Poole we cover BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Bournemouth, 4.6 miles away, and Ferndown.

Across a large town like Poole, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are planning ahead in Poole for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. For a walk-in shower in Poole, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

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

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover BH12 in Poole?

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
