Working in Longfield
We work right across Longfield — DA3, DA4 and DA13 — and in neighbouring Hartley and Swanscombe.
Longfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a long, narrow Longfield en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Longfield bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. If your supply in Longfield 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
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.
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
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.
