Working in Heywood
As well as Heywood itself (OL10), we survey in Middleton, Rochdale and Bury.
In Heywood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Heywood, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Heywood shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Heywood, 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
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.
