Working in Chingford

In Chingford we cover E4, IG8 and IG9; we also cover Edmonton, 2.5 miles away, and Walthamstow.

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

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Chingford 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

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

Decisions to make first

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.

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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 Chingford?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Chingford?

Building control for Chingford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
