Working in Garston
We work right across Garston — L18, L19, L24 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Hunts Cross and Allerton.
Garston gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Garston bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Garston for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Garston, 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 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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.
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.
