Working in Acocks Green
We cover every part of Acocks Green, including B25, B26 and B27, and nearby Shirley (2.7 miles) and Solihull (2.9 miles).
Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure walk-in showers in Acocks Green so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. If your Acocks Green shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Acocks Green. 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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.
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.
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.
