Working in Greenford
In Greenford we cover UB1, UB5 and UB6; we also cover Northolt, 1.5 miles away, and Southall.
In Greenford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Greenford bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Greenford en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Greenford 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Decisions to make first
Valve
An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.
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.
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.
