Working in Market Harborough
In Market Harborough we cover LE16; we also cover Corby, 9.8 miles away, and Kettering.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Market Harborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in Market Harborough for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. In a long, narrow Market Harborough en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Market Harborough 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
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.
