Working in Witney
We cover every part of Witney, including OX28, and nearby Carterton (5 miles) and Oxford (10 miles).
In Witney, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Witney, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. In a long, narrow Witney en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Most of Oxfordshire has hard water. If your supply in Witney 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
