Working in Canning Town
In Canning Town we cover E13, E14 and E16; we also cover Stratford, 1.6 miles away, and Bow.
In Canning Town, 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 Canning Town for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. We measure walk-in showers in Canning Town so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Canning Town 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
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.
