Working in Borehamwood

In Borehamwood we cover WD6; we also cover Barnet, 3.3 miles away, and Bushey.

Homes in and around Borehamwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Borehamwood shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. For a walk-in shower in Borehamwood, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
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
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Walk-in showers in Borehamwood: questions

Is the home survey in Borehamwood really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WD6 in Borehamwood?

Yes. We cover all of Borehamwood, including WD6, and nearby Barnet, Bushey and Potters Bar. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Borehamwood?

Can a walk-in shower replace a bath?

Yes. A standard bath is about 1700 by 700 mm, so a 1700 mm tray fits the same space and can often use the existing waste position. It is one of the simplest ways to get a walk-in shower; our bath to shower conversions page covers that job in detail.
