Working in Lancaster
As well as Lancaster itself (LA1, LA3 and LA4), we survey in Morecambe, Heysham and Fleetwood.
In a city the size of Lancaster, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are planning ahead in Lancaster for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Lancaster shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Lancaster, 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- 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
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.
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.
