Working in Rushden
In Rushden we cover NN10; we also cover Wellingborough, 4 miles away, and Kettering.
In Rushden, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow Rushden en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Rushden bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are hard. If your supply in Rushden 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
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- 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
- 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.
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.
