Working in Fareham

In Fareham we cover PO14, PO15 and PO16; we also cover Gosport, 4.5 miles away, and Portsmouth.

In Fareham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure walk-in showers in Fareham so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Fareham 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 Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Fareham is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

Decisions to make first

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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.

Is the water hard in Fareham?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Fareham?

Building control for Fareham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do walk-in showers feel cold?

An open shower can feel cooler than an enclosure because warm air escapes from the open end. A longer panel, a heated towel rail close by or underfloor heating all help. Good extraction still matters, because condensation forms wherever the steam goes.
