Working in Berkhamsted

We cover every part of Berkhamsted, including HP4, and nearby Chesham (4.4 miles) and Hemel Hempstead (5 miles).

Berkhamsted gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Berkhamsted for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Berkhamsted shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Berkhamsted 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

A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

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 Berkhamsted?

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
