Working in Pitsea
As well as Pitsea itself (SS13, SS14 and SS16), we survey in Basildon, South Benfleet and Wickford.
In Pitsea, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Pitsea shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If your Pitsea bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Pitsea 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
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.
