Working in Oldham
In Oldham we cover M35, OL1, OL4 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Middleton, 3.4 miles away, and Ashton-under-Lyne.
Oldham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. In a long, narrow Oldham en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. We measure walk-in showers in Oldham so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Oldham, 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
- 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
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
