Working in Bury
In Bury we cover BL8, BL9, M25 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Radcliffe, 2.8 miles away, and Heywood.
Homes in and around Bury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a long, narrow Bury en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Bury bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Bury, 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
- 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
- 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
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.
