Working in Newcastle under Lyme
In Newcastle under Lyme we cover ST5; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2 miles away, and Longton.
Newcastle under Lyme has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In a long, narrow Newcastle under Lyme en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Newcastle under Lyme, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Newcastle under Lyme. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Decisions to make first
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
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.
