Working in Blackheath
We work right across Blackheath — SE3, SE10 and SE13 — and in neighbouring Greenwich and Catford.
In Blackheath, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Blackheath bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. For a walk-in shower in Blackheath, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Blackheath 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
