Working in Norwich

We cover every part of Norwich, including NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby East Dereham (15.8 miles) and Great Yarmouth (18.2 miles).

In a city the size of Norwich, 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 Norwich for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. In a long, narrow Norwich en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Most of Norfolk has very hard water. If your supply in Norwich 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

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Norwich?

Building control for Norwich is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
