Working in Colne
In Colne we cover BB8 and BB9; we also cover Nelson, 2.1 miles away, and Burnley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Colne: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Colne shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. In a long, narrow Colne en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Colne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
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.
