Working in Eltham
As well as Eltham itself (SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Blackheath, Welling and Catford.
London homes in Eltham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We measure walk-in showers in Eltham so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Eltham shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Eltham 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
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
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.
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.
