Working in Rickmansworth
In Rickmansworth we cover HA6, WD3 and WD18; we also cover Watford, 3.7 miles away, and Chalfont St Peter.
In Rickmansworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Rickmansworth for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. We measure walk-in showers in Rickmansworth so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Rickmansworth 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
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.
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
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.
