Working in Gosport

We work right across Gosport — PO12 and PO13 — and in neighbouring Portsmouth and Southsea.

Across a large town like Gosport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are planning ahead in Gosport for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. In a long, narrow Gosport en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Gosport 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
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Gosport?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
