Working in Maidstone

We cover every part of Maidstone, including ME14, ME15 and ME16, and nearby Chatham (7.8 miles) and Rochester (8.4 miles).

Maidstone has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Maidstone 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 Maidstone, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Maidstone 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
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

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 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.

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 Maidstone?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Maidstone?

Building control for Maidstone is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
