Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself (M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.
In Ashton-under-Lyne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow Ashton-under-Lyne en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Ashton-under-Lyne, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Ashton-under-Lyne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- 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
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
