Working in Sittingbourne
We cover every part of Sittingbourne, including ME9, ME10 and ME12, and nearby Faversham (7 miles) and Gillingham (8.6 miles).
In Sittingbourne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Sittingbourne bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. For a walk-in shower in Sittingbourne, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Water across much of Kent is very hard. If your supply in Sittingbourne 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
