Working in Barnet

In Barnet we cover EN4, EN5, HA8 and 7 more postcode districts; we also cover Potters Bar, 3.1 miles away, and Borehamwood.

In Barnet, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are planning ahead in Barnet for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. In a long, narrow Barnet en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Barnet 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
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

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.

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.

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 Barnet?

Do walk-in showers feel cold?

An open shower can feel cooler than an enclosure because warm air escapes from the open end. A longer panel, a heated towel rail close by or underfloor heating all help. Good extraction still matters, because condensation forms wherever the steam goes.
