Working in Purley
We cover every part of Purley, including CR2, CR5 and CR8, and nearby Coulsdon (1.7 miles) and South Croydon (1.9 miles).
London homes in Purley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Purley 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 Purley en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Purley 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
- 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
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.
