Working in Bishops Stortford
In Bishops Stortford we cover CM23; we also cover Harlow, 6.8 miles away, and Ware.
In Bishops Stortford, 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 Bishops Stortford so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Bishops Stortford shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Bishops Stortford 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- 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
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
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.
