Working in Stretford

We cover every part of Stretford, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Old Trafford (1.3 miles) and Urmston (1.5 miles).

Homes in and around Stretford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Stretford so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If you are planning ahead in Stretford for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Stretford, 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 low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche

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.

Is the water hard in Stretford?

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
