Working in Coulsdon

We work right across Coulsdon — CR5, CR8 and SM7 — and in neighbouring Purley and Banstead.

In Coulsdon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For a walk-in shower in Coulsdon, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If you are planning ahead in Coulsdon for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Coulsdon 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

Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
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
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 home survey in Coulsdon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CR5 in Coulsdon?

Yes. We cover all of Coulsdon, including CR5, CR8 and SM7, and nearby Purley, Banstead and Sutton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
