Working in Birmingham

We cover every part of Birmingham, including B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts, and nearby Smethwick (2.9 miles) and West Bromwich (4.7 miles).

In a city the size of Birmingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. In a long, narrow Birmingham en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Birmingham shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Birmingham. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
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

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.

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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 Birmingham?

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

Building control for Birmingham 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.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
