Working in Sevenoaks
In Sevenoaks we cover TN13; we also cover Tonbridge, 6.5 miles away, and Swanley.
Homes in and around Sevenoaks vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Sevenoaks so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Sevenoaks en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Sevenoaks 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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.
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.
