Working in Stockport
We cover every part of Stockport, including SK1, SK2, SK3 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Bredbury (1.8 miles) and Hazel Grove (2.5 miles).
Across a large town like Stockport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In a long, narrow Stockport en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Stockport, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Stockport, 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
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.
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.
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.
