Working in Stanford-le-Hope
We work right across Stanford-le-Hope — SS16 and SS17 — and in neighbouring Basildon and Pitsea.
Homes in and around Stanford-le-Hope vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Stanford-le-Hope shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. For a walk-in shower in Stanford-le-Hope, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Stanford-le-Hope 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
- 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
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.
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.
