Working in Godalming

In Godalming we cover GU7; we also cover Guildford, 3.8 miles away, and Haslemere.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Godalming: free survey, written quote, one team. In a long, narrow Godalming en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If you are planning ahead in Godalming for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Godalming 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

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
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Godalming?

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

Building control for Godalming 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.

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
