Working in Ramsgate
We cover every part of Ramsgate, including CT10, CT11 and CT12, and nearby Broadstairs (1.9 miles) and Margate (3.4 miles).
In Ramsgate, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ramsgate bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Ramsgate so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. If your supply in Ramsgate 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- 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
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.
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.
